Bill > A07745

This bill extends the authority of Suffolk County, New York, to continue imposing an additional one percent sales and compensating use tax beyond the previously authorized end date of November 30, 2025, now extending the period to November 30, 2027. The legislation specifically amends two sections of the tax law to reflect this extension. Under the existing law, Suffolk County is authorized to adopt local laws or resolutions to impose this supplemental sales tax, with the net collections being allocated in a specific manner: between one-eighth and three-eighths of the collected funds must be dedicated to public safety purposes, while the remaining balance will be deposited into the county's general fund. The bill makes no substantive changes to how the tax is collected or distributed, merely extending the timeframe during which the county can continue levying the additional one percent sales tax. The legislation will take effect immediately upon enactment, allowing Suffolk County to maintain its current sales tax structure for an additional two years.
