Existing law creates the Riverside County Transportation Commission with specified powers and duties relative to transportation planning and programming in the County of Riverside. Existing law authorizes the commission to impose a transactions and use tax for transportation purposes subject to approval of the voters, which, pursuant to the California Constitution, requires approval of 23 of the voters. Existing law limits the commission to a 1% maximum tax rate, and requires the commission's tax or taxes to be levied at a rate divisible by 14%, unless a different rate is specifically authorized by statute.
This bill would raise the maximum tax rate the commission may impose from 1% to 1.5%.
This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the County of Riverside.
