Bill > A08079

This bill extends the authority of the village of Medina to impose an occupancy tax by modifying the expiration date of a previous law. Specifically, the bill changes the sunset provision of Chapter 530 of the 2024 laws, which originally authorized Medina to collect an occupancy tax until December 31, 2025, to now allow the tax to remain in effect until December 31, 2027. An occupancy tax is a fee charged to individuals who rent hotel rooms, short-term lodgings, or other temporary accommodations, typically used by local governments to generate revenue for municipal services or tourism development. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage, and the new expiration date of December 31, 2027, means the village can continue to collect this tax for an additional two years beyond the original timeframe.
