Bill > S05773

This bill extends the authorization for Sullivan County to impose additional local sales taxes through November 30, 2027, instead of the previously set expiration date of November 30, 2025. Specifically, the bill allows Sullivan County to continue levying two separate half-percent sales tax increases: one additional half-percent tax that has been in effect since June 1, 2003, and another half-percent tax that has been in effect since June 1, 2007. By amending the existing tax law, the bill provides the county with continued flexibility to generate local revenue through these supplemental sales tax rates for an additional two years beyond the current authorization. The extension will help Sullivan County maintain its current level of local tax revenue and provide financial stability for local government operations.
