Summary

This bill authorizes the town of Rhinebeck in Dutchess County to establish and collect hotel and motel taxes within the town. The taxes would apply to lodging accommodations provided by hotels and motels in Rhinebeck. These local taxes would allow the town to generate revenue from visitors and tourists staying in the community. The bill includes provisions for the taxes to be repealed upon expiration, meaning the authorization is temporary unless renewed. This enables Rhinebeck to implement a local tourism-based revenue source while the authorization is in effect.

AI-generated plain-language summary of the bill (from the OpenStates abstract — no full text available yet) — neutral, and may be imperfect.
