Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the tax law, in relation to the imposition of taxes on the use of motor vehicles in the county of Suffolk
Purpose/summary of provisions
The bill authorizes Suffolk County to adopt a local law to construct a fee schedule similar to both Nassau and Westchester County. The new fee schedule would call for a $10 per year fee increase for passenger vehicles under 3500 lbs., a $5 per year fee increase for passenger vehicles over 3500 lbs., and a $30 per year fee increase for commercial vehicles (excluding farm vehicles).
Justification
Both Nassau and Westchester County have fee schedules that generate more revenue than those provided to Suffolk County under current legislation. By allowing Suffolk County the option of raising its fees, the additional revenues generated could be used to offset increases in energy costs due to the rise in petroleum products (i.e. gasoline and asphalt). In addition, this new fee schedule would provide Suffolk County a source of recurring revenue for its general fund.
Fiscal implications for state and local governments
No fiscal implications for the state. Suffolk County anticipates that it would amass an additional $4.1 million in revenues.
Effective date
This act shall take effect immediately upon passage.
