S 7542 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Amends chapter 530 of the laws of 2024, amending the tax law relating to authorizing an occupancy tax in the village of Medina, in relation to the effectiveness thereof

This bill extends the Village of Medina's existing authority to impose an occupancy tax on short-term rentals (like hotels or vacation homes) through December 31, 2027, instead of expiring in 2025. It directly affects Medina residents, businesses operating short-term rentals, and visitors staying in those properties. The key change modifies the expiration date in the existing tax law to provide continued authority for two additional years. The bill was signed into law as Chapter 314 on August 7, 2025, making the extension effective immediately.
