2015-S3594 (ACTIVE) - Sponsor Memo

                                BILL NUMBER:S3594

TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the tax law, in relation to extending the
authorization of the county of Hamilton to impose an additional one
percent of sales and compensating use taxes

PURPOSE:

To extend, for another two years, the authority of Hamilton County to
impose an additional sales and use tax of one percent.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1210 of the Tax Law is amended to extend, until November 30,
2017, the authority of Hamilton County to impose a sales and use tax
which is one percent additional to the three percent rate that is
generally authorized by state law.

EXISTING LAW:

Section 1210 of the Tax Law currently authorizes Hamilton County to
impose the additional one percent sales and use tax until November 30,
2015.

JUSTIFICATION:

In 2013, the Hamilton County Board of Supervisors requested
legislation to impose an additional 1% sales tax in order to help
diversify its revenue sources and thereby help alleviate the property
tax burden. Hamilton County was one of the last counties in the State
to authorize this additional amount. Much of the County's economic
activity comes from tourism, and sales tax revenue is an extremely
important part of the County's budget.

This authority was initially granted for two years. Because these
revenues are a necessary part of the County's financial plan, this
bill would extend -- for another two years -- the authority of
Hamilton County to impose this additional sales tax.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None to the State.

LOCAL FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

This bill will continue the current level of local sales tax revenue
received by Hamilton County.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

Immediate.
