Relates to the imposition of sales and compensating use tax in Schenectady county

This bill extends Schenectady County's authority to impose an additional 0.5% sales and use tax (on top of the existing 3% rate) until November 30, 2027. It modifies the tax law to allow the county to maintain this tax rate for the period beginning June 1, 2023, and ending on the specified date. The policy directly affects residents and businesses in Schenectady County that pay these taxes. The extension provides continued funding flexibility for the county without changing the tax rate or scope.
