A 8079 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Amends chapter 530 of the laws of 2024, amending the tax law relating to authorizing an occupancy tax in the village of Medina, in relation to the effectiveness thereof

This bill extends the Village of Medina's authority to collect an occupancy tax on short-term rentals (like hotels or vacation homes) until December 31, 2027. It directly affects Medina residents, businesses operating short-term rentals, and visitors staying in the village. The key change modifies the expiration date from 2025 to 2027 in the existing tax law, meaning the tax authority will remain active for two additional years. The bill does not create new tax rates or alter the tax's purpose, only its duration.
