The sponsor's argument

Why Lea Webb says this is needed

This bill provides the village of Johnson City, in the county of Broome a new revenue source by authorizing a hotel and motel occupancy tax not to exceed three percent (2%). This is a common tool used by munici- palities to generate funds without directly burdening residents. By authorizing this tax, it ensures that visitors contribute to the village's infrastructure, public services, and community improvements, helping to offset the costs associated with increased tourism activity. By implementing a modest occupancy tax, the village of Johnson City can enhance local services, support economic development initiatives, and invest in community projects that benefit both residents and visitors.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
