Bill > A06220

This bill extends the authorization for the town of Mount Pleasant to impose a hotel/motel occupancy tax on hotels not located within a village, specifically by changing the expiration date from September 1, 2025 to September 1, 2027. This means the town will continue to have the legal ability to levy a local tax on hotel and motel stays for an additional two years beyond the previous expiration date. The bill is a straightforward amendment to a previous law (Chapter 372 of the laws of 2020) that originally granted Mount Pleasant this taxing authority, and it will take effect immediately upon passage. Such local occupancy taxes are common mechanisms for municipalities to generate revenue, typically by charging a small percentage on top of the room rate for overnight accommodations.
