Bill > A07446

This bill extends the Rockland County's authority to impose additional sales and compensating use taxes until November 30, 2027, rather than the previous expiration date of November 30, 2025. Specifically, the bill modifies existing tax law to allow Rockland County to continue collecting two separate additional sales tax rates: a five-eighths of one percent rate (first implemented in 2002) and a three-eighths of one percent rate (first implemented in 2007). The bill also maintains the current distribution requirements for these additional tax collections, which mandate that 20% of the five-eighths of one percent tax be allocated to towns and villages based on population, and a varying percentage (16.2/3% to 33.1/3%) of the three-eighths of one percent tax be distributed to towns and villages with police departments, based on the number of full-time equivalent police officers. This extension will provide continued local revenue for Rockland County and its municipalities, allowing them to fund local services and operations through these additional sales tax collections.
