Authorizes the city of Richmond to levy a sales tax whose revenues are dedicated to public safety upon voter approval

Summary

The bill lets the city of Richmond, and other cities that meet specific population and county criteria, impose a sales tax of up to one‑half of one percent. The tax can only take effect after a majority of qualified voters approve it, and the money must be used for police, fire and emergency medical equipment, salaries, benefits, and facilities. It creates a dedicated trust fund to keep the revenue separate from other city funds.
