Bill > S08321

This bill extends the authorization for an occupancy tax in the town of Putnam Valley, Putnam County, by modifying a previous law passed in 2023. Specifically, the bill changes the expiration date of the tax authorization from 2 years to 4 years, which means the town will now have a longer period to implement and collect the occupancy tax. An occupancy tax is typically a fee charged to guests staying in hotels, motels, and other short-term lodging establishments, with the revenue often used to support local tourism, infrastructure, or other municipal services. By extending the authorization period, the town will have more time to benefit from this revenue source and potentially plan for longer-term community investments.
