The sponsor's argument

Why Lea Webb says this is needed

State Tax Law § 253-v presently authorizes Cortland County to adopt and amend local laws imposing a mortgage recording tax of twenty five cents ($.25) for each one hundred dollars ($100.00) and each remaining major fraction thereof of principal debt or obligation which is or under any contingency may be secured at the date of execution thereof, or at any time thereafter, by a mortgage on real property situated in Cortland County and recorded on or after, the date upon which such tax takes effect, (beginning September 30, 2007 and ending December 1, 2025). In the current economic climate it would create a fiscal hardship for Cort- land County that receives this revenue if this source of revenue were to expire, and such a loss would result in a substantial burden on County property owners through increased property taxes or loss of essential services. Cortland County has requested a two-year extension of its authority to collect this mortgage recording tax.

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.
