BILL NUMBER:S4437
Title of bill
An act to amend the tax law, in relation to the imposition of sales and compensating use taxes by the county of Albany
Purpose or general idea of bill
Extends for two years the authorization of additional sales and use tax for the County of Albany.
Summary of specific provisions
Amends section 1210 of the tax law to allow the County of Albany to extend the duration of the additional one percent of sales and use tax through November 30, 2017.
