Bill > A06080

This bill extends the authorization for the town of Wallkill to levy a hotel or motel tax of up to 5% by modifying a previous law. Specifically, the bill amends the sunset date (expiration) of the original legislation from September 1, 2025 to September 1, 2027, effectively giving the town two additional years to implement and collect this tax. The bill allows the town to continue having the option to impose a hotel or motel tax at its discretion, with a maximum rate of 5%, until the new expiration date. The legislation takes effect immediately upon passage, which means the town can begin implementing the extended tax authorization right away. This type of local tax authorization is common for municipalities seeking to generate additional revenue from transient accommodations within their jurisdictional boundaries.
