Relates to the effectiveness of the hotel and motel tax in the town of Woodbury
S 1863 extends the existing hotel and motel tax in Woodbury for an additional two years, directly affecting hotels and motels operating in the town that currently pay this tax. The bill amends the tax law to remove a previous expiration date (originally set for 11 years after implementation) and makes the tax effective immediately without a future end date. This change ensures the tax continues to fund local services without requiring a new legislative action for the next two years. Note: The bill was substituted by A4315A on May 27, 2025, but this summary reflects its original proposed provisions.
