Extends the authority of the county of Columbia to impose an additional 1 percent sales and compensating use tax
This bill extends Columbia County's existing authority to collect an additional 1% sales and use tax for two more years, through November 30, 2027. It modifies the tax law to maintain the current 1% rate (added to the existing 3% rate) without changing the tax structure. The extension directly affects residents and businesses in Columbia County that pay these taxes. The bill does not alter the tax rate or create new taxes, only prolonging the current authority.
