Referred to Committee on Finance
Summary
The bill amends state law so that a county’s governing body can adopt an ordinance imposing a sales and use tax of no more than one percent to fund specific transportation‑related projects, including roads, bridges, mass‑transit, greenways, and drainage improvements. The ordinance must detail the projects, cost, and time limit (max 25 years) and the tax can only be enacted after a referendum held at a general election. Voters may also approve related general‑obligation bonds and future extensions of the tax.
