Bill > S06699

This bill extends the city of Olean's existing authority to impose a hotel and motel tax by modifying the sunset date of the original legislation. Specifically, the bill changes the expiration date of the tax authorization from September 1, 2025 to September 1, 2027, effectively giving the city two additional years to continue collecting the hotel and motel tax. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage, which means the new expiration date will be in place right away. This type of local tax authorization is common for municipalities to generate additional revenue from temporary visitors and support local infrastructure and tourism-related expenses.
