The sponsor's argument

Why Michelle Hinchey says this is needed

At the request of the municipality, this legislation would allow the Town of Clinton, located in Dutchess County, to impose an occupancy tax. The rate of such tax shall not exceed 3% of the daily rate for each room. This shall include facilities commonly knows as "bed and break- fast", "conference center", "agricultural event venue", and "tourist" facilities. Pursuant to the Municipal Home Rule Law, a town may adopt local laws that relate to the levy and administration of local taxes if authorized by the State legislature. This tax would enable to town to raise additional revenue, allowing them to continue to provide necessary services without having to increase property tax rates.

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.
