Bill > S05984

This bill extends the existing authorization for an occupancy tax in the village of Weedsport by modifying the expiration date from December 31, 2025, to December 31, 2027. An occupancy tax is a fee charged to guests staying in hotels, motels, or other short-term lodging establishments, which is typically used to generate revenue for local government services or tourism promotion. The bill amends a previous law from 2023 that initially established this tax authorization, simply changing the sunset (expiration) date by two additional years. The legislation will take effect immediately upon passage, and the tax authorization will automatically be deemed repealed on December 31, 2027, unless further legislative action is taken to extend it.
