Bill > S06982

This bill extends the authorization for Cortland County to impose an additional 1% sales tax beyond the standard 3% rate. Specifically, the legislation amends the existing tax law to change the end date of this additional sales tax authorization from November 30, 2025 to November 30, 2027, effectively providing the county with two more years to collect the supplemental sales tax. This type of local sales tax authorization is common in New York State, allowing counties to generate additional revenue by imposing a small percentage increase on top of the standard state sales tax rate. The bill has an immediate effective date, meaning it will go into effect as soon as it is signed into law, enabling Cortland County to continue its current sales tax structure for an extended period.
