Additional local sales and use tax to support schools; referendum.

Summary

The bill lets every county and city in Virginia impose an extra local sales and use tax of up to one percent, but only for building or renovating schools and only after a voter referendum passes. It also removes the current rule that such a tax must have a set expiration tied to bond repayment or a governing‑body‑chosen date. This expands the ability to fund school capital projects beyond the few jurisdictions that currently have the authority.
