This bill extends Chautauqua County's authority to impose an additional 1% sales and use tax until November 30, 2027. It directly affects residents and businesses in Chautauqua County who pay sales taxes, as the county will continue collecting this tax during the extended period. The bill specifies that 3/20th of the tax revenue must be allocated to local municipalities based on population, while the remainder funds county Medicaid expenses, road projects, capital improvements, and debt repayment. This is a procedural extension of an existing tax authorization, not a new tax.
