Bill > S06843

This bill extends the authority of Nassau County to impose several taxes and maintain local government assistance programs through December 31, 2027, instead of the previous expiration date of December 31, 2025. Specifically, the bill extends the county's ability to impose hotel and motel taxes, maintain a surcharge on entertainment tickets, charge for copying and searching police accident reports, and continue local government assistance programs for towns, cities, and villages. The bill modifies existing tax law to allow Nassau County to continue collecting an additional three-quarters percent sales tax and one-half percent sales tax beyond the previous expiration date. The local government assistance programs are designed to help municipalities minimize property taxes, manage solid waste, and support conservation and environmental control programs. The funding for these programs will be distributed to towns, cities, and villages on a per capita basis using the most recent federal census population figures. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, ensuring continuity of these tax and assistance provisions for Nassau County.
