HB 1155: County sales & use taxes

Modifying county and city sales and use tax provisions.

Summary

  • Allows the proceeds from a voter-approved sales and use tax to supplant existing funds that had previously been used for the purposes stated in the ballot measure in which the tax was approved.
  • Eliminates the requirement that one third of all funds obtained via voter-approved sales or use taxes be used for criminal justice purposes.
  • Revises election requirements for the approval of county sales or use taxes so as to allow a special election to be held for the determination of the issue and eliminates the requirement that a proposal for a county sales or use tax be submitted to the voters only at a primary or general election.
