Summary

The bill changes state law so the Monterey‑Salinas Transit District can propose a small (up to 0.25%) transactions‑and‑use tax to voters, provided two‑thirds of its board approves and voters approve it before 2035. It also bars the district from putting any new sales or special tax measures on the ballot after Jan. 1, 2026. The change gives the district a new funding tool while limiting its tax‑raising options.
