Summary

The bill lets the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments impose a transactions and use tax of no more than 1% for general or special purposes. The tax can be enacted only after voters approve it between Jan. 1, 2026 and Jan. 1, 2032, and it does not count toward the statewide 2% combined tax cap. This gives the council a new revenue tool to address local fiscal pressures.
