Authorizes the county of Rockland to impose an additional rate of sales and compensating use taxes

This bill authorizes Rockland County to impose two additional sales tax rates: a 0.625% rate (5/8 of 1%) from March 2022 through November 2027, and a 0.375% rate (3/8 of 1%) from March 2027 through November 2027. It directly affects residents and businesses in Rockland County who pay sales tax, as well as towns and villages within the county that receive allocated tax revenue. The law requires the county to distribute 20% of the first tax's revenue to towns/villages based on population, and 16.67% (2027) and 33.33% (2028-2027) of the second tax's revenue to towns/villages with police departments based on full-time police officers - funds cannot be used for police salaries. The bill specifies these tax rates and revenue distribution mechanisms until November 30, 2027.
