Bill > S07420

This bill extends the authority of Suffolk County, New York, to impose an additional one percent sales and use tax until November 30, 2027, instead of the previous expiration date of November 30, 2025. Under this legislation, the county can continue to levy this supplemental sales tax through local laws or resolutions passed by a simple majority of the county legislature and signed by the county executive. Of the net revenue collected from this additional tax, the county must allocate between one-eighth and three-eighths of the funds specifically for public safety purposes, with the remaining balance deposited into the county's general fund. The bill is essentially a technical amendment to existing tax law that provides Suffolk County with continued flexibility in local taxation and revenue generation for an additional two years beyond the current authorization.
