Bill > A06688

This bill authorizes Jefferson County in New York State to continue imposing an additional 1% sales tax on top of the existing 3% county sales tax. The bill extends the county's authorization to levy this supplemental sales tax until November 30th, 2027, which is an extension from the previous expiration date of November 30th, 2025. By amending the tax law, the legislation provides Jefferson County with continued local revenue-generating capability through this supplemental sales tax. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, allowing the county to maintain its current sales tax structure without interruption. This type of local tax authorization is a common practice that enables counties to generate additional funds to support local government services and infrastructure needs beyond standard state-level taxation.
