Bill > A06842

This bill extends the authorization for Genesee County to impose an additional one percent sales and compensating use tax (a local tax added on top of the standard state sales tax rate) from November 30, 2025, to November 30, 2027. Specifically, the bill amends a section of the New York State Tax Law to change the expiration date of this local tax authority, allowing the county to continue collecting this supplemental sales tax for two more years. The one percent additional tax, which has been in place since September 1, 1994, provides the county with an important source of local revenue. By extending the authorization, the county can maintain its current level of tax collection without interruption, which helps fund local government services and infrastructure. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, ensuring a seamless continuation of the county's taxing authority.
