PURPOSE OF GENERAL IDEA OF BILL; To authorize the Schuyler County Legis-
lature to extend their additional 1% sales tax for a 2 year period

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section 1: Clause 22 of subparagraph (I) of the opening paragraph of

JUSTIFICATION:  The Schuyler County Legislature has passed a resolution
requesting that the New York State Legislature introduce and pass a bill
to authorize the county to extend their existing additional 1% sales and
use tax for the period beginning September first, nineteen hundred nine-
ty-nine, and ending November thirtieth, two thousand fifteen The county
has determined that the continuation of the additional increase in the
sales tax is the preferred method of raising revenue to help offset the
impact of the real property tax burden upon residents. Continuation of
this tax generates some $200,000 in additional revenue which is passed
on to towns and villages within the county to meet their obligations to
residents.
