An act to amend chapter 88 of the laws of 2009 amending the tax law relating to the imposition of an occupancy tax in the city of New Rochelle, in relation to extending the effectiveness thereof
Purpose or general idea of bill
To authorize the City of New Rochelle to extend a room occupancy tax not to exceed 3%, for the three-year period, ending in 2018.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1202 of the tax law is amended to extend the authority of the City of New Rochelle to enact such a tax, for a three-year period, ending in 2018.
