Authorizing a new sales and use tax for parks districts that can be imposed with voter approval.

Summary

The bill lets city, county, metropolitan park districts and park‑and‑recreation districts impose a local sales and use tax if a majority of voters approve it. The tax, capped at 0.2% of the selling price, can fund the acquisition, construction, improvement, and maintenance of parks, trails, athletic fields and recreation facilities, with a small portion allowed for administration. It is intended to address funding shortfalls caused by rapid population growth and rising demand for recreational space.
