BILL NUMBER:S4871

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the tax law, in relation to extending the authority of the
county of Nassau to impose hotel and motel taxes in Nassau county; and
to amend chapter 179 of the laws of 2000, amending the tax law, relating
to hotel and motel taxes in Nassau county and a surcharge on tickets to
places of entertainment in such county in relation to extending
certain provisions thereof

PURPOSE:
This bill extends until December 31, 2013 Nassau County's authority to
impose: (i) a hotel and motel tax; (ii) a surcharge on tickets to
places of entertainment in the County; (iii) a charge for searching
and copying police accident reports and photographs; and (iv) charges
for services rendered by the Nassau County Traffic and Parking
Violations Agency.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1 of the bill amends Subdivision 7 of Section 1202-q of the
tax law, to extend until December 31, 2013 the authority for Nassau
County to impose a hotel and motel tax. Section 2 of the bill amends
Section 6 of Chapter 179 of the Laws of 2000, to extend until
December 31, 2013: (i) Tax Law �1202(d), authorizing Nassau County to
impose an "entertainment surcharge" on tickets to places of
entertainment in the County; (ii) Public Officers Law �66-a(3),
authorizing Nassau County to impose a $10 fee for searching for and
copying police accident reports; and (iii) General Municipal Law
�99-1(2), authorizing Nassau County to receive service charges for
services of the Nassau County Traffic and Parking Violations Agency.

EXISTING LAW:
The provisions of this law are currently set to expire on December

Nassau County's authority to impose a hotel and motel tax, an
entertainment surcharge, a police accident report search fee, and
service charges for services rendered by the Nassau County Traffic
and Parking Violations Agency all expire on December 31, 2011.

By extending the authorization until December 31, 2013, this bill would
assure that the County will be able to count on the same level of
revenue for budgeting purposes while continuing to provide acceptable
levels of services to its citizens.
