Bill > A07901

This bill extends the existing authorization for an occupancy tax in the town of Skaneateles by modifying a previous law from 2023. Specifically, the bill changes the expiration date of the tax authorization from December 31, 2025, to December 31, 2027. An occupancy tax is a fee charged to guests staying in hotels, motels, and other short-term lodging establishments, which is typically used to generate revenue for local community services and tourism promotion. By extending the authorization for two additional years, the town of Skaneateles will be able to continue collecting this tax to support local initiatives. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, meaning the new expiration date will be applied right away, and the tax authorization will remain in place until the end of 2027, at which point it will be automatically repealed unless further legislative action is taken.
