Bill > S07542

This bill extends the authority of the village of Medina to impose an occupancy tax by modifying the sunset date of a previously enacted law. Specifically, the bill changes the expiration date of the tax authorization from December 31, 2025 to December 31, 2027, effectively giving the village two additional years to collect the occupancy tax. An occupancy tax is typically a fee charged to guests staying in hotels, motels, or other short-term lodging establishments, with the revenue often used to support local tourism, infrastructure, or general municipal services. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage, and the new expiration date means that the village's ability to levy this tax will continue through the end of 2027, after which the provisions will be automatically repealed unless further legislative action is taken.
