Summary

The bill lets any resident of a city, county or other political subdivision file a petition to place a question on the ballot asking voters to lower the combined property tax rate. It sets limits on how much the rate can be cut, how often a question can appear, and requires verified signatures from a percentage of recent voters. If a majority approves, the local government must reduce the rate by the approved amount.
