Bill > S05561

This bill extends the period during which Orleans County, New York is authorized to impose an additional 1% sales and compensating use tax beyond the currently authorized timeframe. Specifically, the bill amends an existing section of tax law to change the expiration date of this additional tax rate from November 30, 2025, to November 30, 2027. Sales and compensating use taxes are types of transaction taxes applied to the sale of goods and certain services, with this particular provision allowing Orleans County to levy an extra 1% tax on top of the standard 3% rate. The extension provides the county with continued flexibility to generate local revenue through this additional sales tax mechanism. The bill includes a standard legislative provision that it will take effect immediately upon passage, allowing the county to continue its current tax structure without interruption.
