BILL NUMBER:S7366
Title of bill
An act to amend the village law, in relation to author- izing villages to sell or lease advertising space on village property
Purpose
To expand the powers of village trustees to allow for the sale or leas- ing of advertising space on village property.
Summary of provisions
This legislation would add a new paragraph (14) to subdivision 3 of section 4-412 of the village law.
Justification
It has been held that without express statutory authority , villages may not raise revenues by selling advertising space on municipal property. As villages have been struggling to maintain services and at the same time contain increases in real property taxes, this amendment would give the village trustees an option to realize additional funds without increasing taxes.
Legislative history
None.
Fiscal implications
None to the State.
Effective date
Immediately.
