Purpose
This bill will allow Essex County to extend the authorization to impose an additional one percent of sales and compensating use taxes.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 amends Clause 36 of subparagraph (i) of section 1210 of the tax law, as amended by chapter 325 of the laws of 2013 to authorize Essex County to impose an additional one percent tax for the period ending November 30, 2017.

Existing law
New York State Tax Law Section 1210(i) (36) grants Essex County the authority to impose the additional tax, which sunsets on November 30, 2015

The Essex County Board of Supervisors has requested introduction of this legislation to extend the authorization for the county to impose an additional one percent of sales and compensating use taxes through November 30, 2017.
