Bill > S06669

This bill extends the authorization for Monroe County, New York, to impose an additional one percent sales and compensating use tax through November 30, 2027, instead of the previous expiration date of November 30, 2025. The bill specifies how the revenue from this additional tax will be distributed, allocating 5% to school districts outside Rochester, 3% to towns, 1.25% to villages, and 90.75% to the city of Rochester and Monroe County. The distribution to school districts will be based on the number of enrolled public school pupils, while town and village allocations will be proportional to their populations. The bill also ensures that these additional tax collections will not be considered when calculating sales tax increases or decreases, and includes a standard severability clause that prevents the entire act from being invalidated if any part is found unconstitutional. The act is designed to provide continued funding for local government and educational services in Monroe County.
