Summary: A7492 (Extends the additional 1% sales and use tax for Chenango County)

What this bill would do

  • The bill seeks to extend the additional one percent (1%) sales and use tax currently in place for Chenango County.
  • Because A7492 has been substituted by S6811, the substantive provisions are now carried in the companion Senate bill S6811. The Assembly bill’s text has been replaced in the legislative process, and S6811 is the version to consider for the current policy proposal.

Status and procedural history

  • Introduced: March 28, 2025.
  • Referred to: Ways and Means (2025-03-28).
  • Subsequent actions:
    • Referred to Rules (2025-06-06).
    • Reported (2025-06-16).
    • Rules Report CAL.806 and Ordered to Third Reading (2025-06-16).
    • Substituted by S6811 (2025-06-16).
  • Current status: A7492 was substituted by S6811; readers should review S6811 for the current version and provisions.

Related bills

  • S6811 — companion bill in the Senate; serves as the substituted version for A7492 and contains the current language under consideration.

Who is affected

  • Residents and businesses in Chenango County are affected insofar as the local 1% sales and use tax applies to transactions within the county.
  • Local government and county officials would administer, receive, and allocate the additional revenue generated by the tax extension.
  • Retailers and other sellers of taxable goods/services in Chenango County would collect the additional tax at the point of sale, remit it to the tax administrator, and comply with any reporting requirements established in the statute.

Key provisions and potential impact (as refined in S6811)

  • The core provision is the extension of the additional 1% sales and use tax within Chenango County. The exact duration, sunset, and any adjustments to the tax would be defined in the current version (S6811).
  • Revenues from the tax are typically dedicated to specified local purposes (infrastructure, services, or county programs), with the bill’s text outlining permissible uses, allocation methodology, oversight, and reporting.
  • Administrative details (collection, distribution, auditing, oversight) would be established in the bill to ensure proper implementation and accountability.

Timeline considerations

  • The proposal originated in March 2025 and advanced through the legislative process, culminating in substitution by a companion Senate bill (S6811) on June 16, 2025.
  • For the most current terms, readers should review S6811 and any related amendments or fiscal notes.

What to watch next

  • The exact language, including duration, sunset provisions, use of proceeds, and allocation mechanics, will be in S6811.
  • Stakeholders should monitor committee actions, any fiscal impact statements, and potential floor votes in both chambers as the substituted bill progresses.
