Bill > A07968

This bill extends the village of Goshen's existing authority to impose a hotel and motel tax by modifying a previous law from 2023. Specifically, the bill changes the expiration date of the tax authorization from 2 years to 4 years, which means the village will now be able to continue levying a hotel and motel tax of up to five percent for an additional two years beyond the original timeframe. This type of local tax is common for municipalities to generate revenue from temporary lodging establishments like hotels and motels. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, allowing the village to continue its tax collection without interruption. The modification ensures that Goshen can maintain this revenue stream for a longer period, potentially supporting local government services or infrastructure projects.
