Sponsor's memo

Title of bill

An act to amend the village law, in relation to authorizing villages to sell or lease advertising space on village property

Purpose

To expand the powers of village trustees to allow for the sale or leasing 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.

2014: S.7366/A.9646

Effective date

This act shall take effect immediately.
