SB 5412: Statewide initiative impact

Modifying the impact of statewide initiatives on local tax authority.

Summary

  • An initiative that amends, repeals, or otherwise modifies a local tax imposed by a county, city, town, or other municipal corporation, only takes effect if a majority of people in the jurisdiction approved the initiative. This requirement does not invalidate provisions of the initiative if they are independent in purpose and express written construction.
