Currently, several cities are statutorily authorized to, upon voter approval, impose a sales tax of up to 0.5% on all retail sales made in the city. Proceeds of this tax may be used solely for the purpose of improving public safety.
This bill would add a city with more than 5,600 but fewer than 6,300 inhabitants that is the county seat of a county with more than 22,000 but fewer than 25,000 inhabitants.
Upon enactment, this bill will apply to Richmond.
This bill is similar to HB 1276 (2025).
