Bill > S04895

This bill extends the effectiveness of an existing occupancy tax in the village of Briarcliff Manor by two years, changing the expiration date from December 31, 2025 to December 31, 2027. An occupancy tax is a fee charged to guests staying in hotels, motels, or other short-term lodging establishments, which generates additional revenue for the local municipality. The original law authorizing this tax was passed in 2022, and this bill simply modifies the sunset provision to allow the tax to continue for an additional two years. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage, meaning the new expiration date of December 31, 2027 will be in place as soon as it is signed into law. This type of targeted tax extension is common for local governments seeking to maintain a source of municipal revenue.
