Bill > A05970

This bill extends the authority of Dutchess County in New York to impose an additional sales and compensating use tax for two more years, specifically extending the current authorization from November 30, 2025, to November 30, 2027. The bill modifies a specific section of the New York tax law that allows Dutchess County to levy a sales tax rate that is three-quarters of one percent above the standard three percent tax rate. This means local officials in Dutchess County can continue to collect this supplemental sales tax for an additional two years beyond the previously authorized period. The modification is a technical amendment to existing law, and the bill includes a provision for immediate implementation upon enactment. Such local sales tax extensions are common mechanisms for counties to generate additional revenue to support local government services and infrastructure.
