Education

This bill extends Monroe County's existing authority to impose an additional 1% sales and compensating use tax (on top of the current 3% rate) until November 30, 2027. The revenue from this tax will be distributed as follows: 5% to school districts outside Rochester, 3% to towns, 1.25% to villages, and 93.75% to the city of Rochester and Monroe County (with the county portion funding county operations). Distribution formulas are based on school enrollment for districts and population ratios for towns and villages, as defined in existing tax law. The extension covers the period from December 1, 2025, through November 30, 2027.
