Authorizes the city of Lexington to impose a sales tax for public safety

Summary

The bill replaces the existing Section 94.900 with new language that lets cities meeting certain population and classification thresholds impose a half‑percent sales tax to pay for police, fire and emergency‑medical equipment, staff and facilities. The tax can only be enacted after a majority of city voters approve it, and the revenue must be placed in a dedicated trust fund. The measure adds Lexington to the list of cities that may use this financing tool.
