Bill > S05986

This bill extends the existing authorization for an occupancy tax in the village of Skaneateles by modifying a previous law (Chapter 328 of the laws of 2023) to change the expiration date from December 31, 2025 to December 31, 2027. An occupancy tax is a fee typically charged to guests staying in hotels, motels, and other short-term lodging establishments, with the revenue often used to support local tourism, infrastructure, or community development. The bill does not alter the substantive details of the original tax authorization, but simply extends the time period during which the tax can be collected. The legislation will take effect immediately upon passage, allowing the village of Skaneateles to continue levying this tax for an additional two years beyond the previously established sunset date.
