Extends the three-quarters of one percent increase to the sales tax rate for Orange County.
Summary of provisions

Justification
At the request of the Orange County Legislature this bill will allow Orange County to continue to impose a three-quarters of one percent increase to the sales tax rate, extending such authorization until November 30, 2015.
