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 adds a city with more than 4,400 but fewer than 4,900 inhabitants that is the county seat of a county with more than 30,000 but fewer than 35,000 inhabitants to this list of authorized cities.
Upon enactment, this will apply to Lexington.
This bill is similar to HB 1345 (2025).
