Currently, no county shall submit to voters a proposal that results in a combined rate of sales taxes in excess of 1%.
Beginning August 28, 2025, a county must not submit to the voters any proposal that results in a combined rate of sales taxes in excess of 1.5%. A county may only submit to the voters a proposal that results in a combined rate of sales taxes in excess of 1% but less than 1.5% if the proposal is for the sole purpose of funding law enforcement. All sales tax elections for law enforcement purposes conducted during the November 8, 2022, general election will be deemed in compliance with state law if the aggregate sales tax rate is not in excess of 1.5%.
This bill is the same as HCS HB 2077 (2024).
