Extends the expiration of the provisions authorizing the county of Cattaraugus to impose an additional one percent sales and compensating use taxes until November 30, 2027.

This bill allows Cattaraugus County to continue charging an extra one percent sales tax until November 30, 2027. It extends an existing provision that enables the county to collect this additional tax to support local services and programs.

Supporters of the bill argue that extending the additional sales tax is essential for funding vital county services, such as public safety and infrastructure maintenance. They believe it provides a necessary revenue stream that benefits the community and helps keep local taxes stable.

Critics of the bill contend that extending the sales tax burden on residents is unfair, especially during times of economic uncertainty. They argue that it disproportionately affects low-income families and could discourage consumer spending in the county.
