Bill > A07516

This bill extends the sunset (expiration) date for an existing law that allows the city of Port Jervis to establish an occupancy tax on hotels and motels. Specifically, the bill amends a previous law from 2020 by changing the expiration date from September 1, 2025 to September 1, 2027, which means the city will have two additional years to implement and collect this local hotel/motel tax. An occupancy tax is a fee charged to guests staying at hotels or motels, typically used to generate revenue for local government services or tourism-related initiatives. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage, allowing the city of Port Jervis to continue its authorized local taxation policy for short-term lodging accommodations for two more years beyond the current expiration date.
