Bill > A08290

This bill extends the authorization for Sullivan County to impose additional local sales taxes at specific rates for a longer period. Specifically, the bill amends the existing tax law to extend the county's ability to levy two separate half-percent sales tax increases: one that was originally set to expire on November 30, 2025, and another additional half-percent tax rate, both of which are now extended to expire on November 30, 2027. This extension allows Sullivan County to continue collecting these additional sales tax revenues for two more years beyond the previous expiration date, providing the county with continued fiscal flexibility. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, meaning the extended tax authorization will be in place right away, giving the county continued authority to maintain its current local sales tax structure through late 2027.
