Bill > S06337

This bill extends the authorization for Rockland County to impose additional sales and compensating use taxes until November 30, 2027, replacing the previous expiration date of 2025. Specifically, the bill allows the county to continue collecting two separate additional tax rates: a five-eighths of one percent rate (first authorized in 2002) and a three-eighths of one percent rate (first authorized in 2007). The bill also maintains the existing distribution requirements for these tax collections, which include allocating 20% of the five-eighths percent tax collection to towns and villages based on population, and allocating 16.67% to 33.33% of the three-eighths percent tax collection to towns and villages with police departments, based on the number of full-time equivalent police officers. These allocations are meant to provide additional funding to local municipalities within Rockland County. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage, ensuring a seamless continuation of the county's existing tax structure.
