Summary of Bill S 5783 — Extends the Effectiveness of the Occupancy Tax in the Village of Harrison

Overview

Bill S 5783, introduced March 3, 2025 and sponsored by Senator Shelley Mayer (primary), aims to extend the duration of the occupancy tax in the Village of Harrison.

A companion bill exists in the Assembly (A6200).
