Bill > A07895

This bill extends the existing occupancy tax authorization for the village of Skaneateles from December 31, 2025 to December 31, 2027. An occupancy tax is a fee charged to guests staying in local lodging establishments like hotels and short-term rentals, which typically generates revenue for local tourism and municipal services. The bill specifically amends a previous law (Chapter 328 of the laws of 2023) by changing the expiration date of the tax authorization. The modification is straightforward: replacing the original expiration year of 2025 with 2027, which effectively allows the village to continue collecting the occupancy tax for two additional years. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, and the tax provisions will remain in place until the end of 2027, after which they will automatically be considered repealed unless further legislative action is taken.
