Summary

The bill adds new chapters to the Revenue and Taxation Code that let certain cities and counties levy a small transactions and use tax—ranging from 0.25% to 1%—even if the combined local tax rate would exceed the usual 2% limit. Each tax must be approved by local voters and will be repealed if not approved by the set deadline (mostly Dec. 31, 2031). The measure is urgent and takes effect right away to help offset cuts to social safety‑net services.
