Bill > A08777

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 the ability to continue collecting this tax for an additional two years beyond the original timeframe. An occupancy tax is typically a fee charged to guests staying in hotels, motels, or other short-term lodging accommodations, with the revenue often used to support local tourism, infrastructure, or other municipal needs. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, allowing the town to maintain its current tax collection framework for a longer period without interruption.
