HB 617 -- Sales Tax

Co-Sponsors:  Williams (121), Smith (11)

Current law allows counties other than charter counties with a
population over 400,000 to impose a 1/4, 3/8, or 1/2 of 1% sales
tax for the purpose of providing law enforcement services.  This
bill also allows a 1/8 of 1% sales tax for the same purpose.
The bill specifies additional ballot language and an effective
date for ordinances enacting the sales tax.
