Bill > S06333

This bill extends the authorization for Genesee County to impose an additional one percent sales and compensating use tax by two years, moving the expiration date from November 30, 2025, to November 30, 2027. Currently, the county is authorized to levy a supplemental sales tax on top of the standard three percent rate, which was first established in 1994. The proposed legislation simply amends the existing tax law to update the sunset date for this local tax authority, allowing the county to continue collecting the additional one percent sales tax for two more years. This type of local tax authorization is common in New York state, giving counties the flexibility to generate additional revenue to support local government services and infrastructure. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, ensuring a seamless continuation of the county's existing sales tax structure.
