Bill > A07461

This bill extends the authority of Orange County, New York to impose an additional sales and compensating use tax at a rate of three-quarters of one percent beyond the previously authorized date of November 30, 2025, to now continue until November 30, 2027. The bill specifically amends the existing tax law to change the expiration date of the additional tax rate. Furthermore, it stipulates that the net collections from this additional sales and use tax during the period from December 1, 2025, to November 30, 2027, will be paid directly to Orange County and used solely for county purposes. Importantly, these tax revenues will not be subject to any existing revenue distribution agreements, meaning the county will have more direct control over how these funds are utilized. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, allowing the county to continue its current tax structure and maintain its local revenue stream for an additional two years.
