An act to amend the tax law, in relation to authorizing the county of Orange to establish hotel and motel taxes
Purpose
This legislation authorizes Orange County, to impose by local law, a tax on hotel and motel occupancy of five percent of the charge.
Summary of provisions
Section one of this legislation amends the Tax Law by adding a new section 1202-aa, in relation to the imposition of a hotel and motel tax in the County of Orange. Enactment of such local law may provide for the imposition of a hotel or motel tax for a period of time no longer than three years from the effective date of its enactment. Section two of this legislation is the effective date.
Justification
This legislation would allow the County of Orange to impose a hotel and motel tax. The rate of such tax shall be five percent of the per diem rental rate for each room.

The County of Orange has requested special legislation which will enable them to collect a hotel or motel tax in an effort to raise additional revenue for the county.
