Bill > S06207

This bill amends the New York State tax law to extend the authorization for Jefferson County to impose an additional one percent sales tax. Specifically, the bill changes the end date of this tax authority from November 30th, 2025 to November 30th, 2027, effectively providing the county with two more years to collect the supplemental sales tax. The proposed legislation allows Jefferson County to continue levying a sales tax that is one percent higher than the standard three percent rate previously authorized. This type of local tax authorization is common in New York, where counties can implement additional sales taxes with state legislative approval. The bill is straightforward in its purpose, simply extending the existing tax provision for two more years, and includes a provision for immediate effect upon passage.
