BILL NUMBER:S6177

TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend chapter 105 of the laws of 2009 amending chapter 693 of
the laws of 1980 enabling the county of Albany to impose and collect
taxes on occupancy of hotel or motel rooms in Albany county relating to
revenues received from the collection of hotel or motel occupancy taxes,
in relation to the effectiveness thereof

PURPOSE:
Extends the effectiveness of chapter 401 of the laws of 2010 for two
years.

Amends chapter 401 of 2010, extending the sunset from December 31, 2012
to December 31, 2014.

JUSTIFICATION:
Currently, the county of Albany's hotel/motel occupancy tax is slated to
sunset on December 31, 2012. In order for the county to continue gener-
ating revenue, the sunset must be extended. This ensures the continued
promotion of the Capital District and also provides funding for the
continuation of the Albany convention Center and Hotel project.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
2009-2010: S.2096A/A.5222A - Chapter 105

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None to the state.
