HB 591 -- Property Tax Levies

Sponsor:  Sutherland

This bill authorizes voters to petition for an election to lower
the tax rate ceiling of a political subdivision when at least 10%
of the registered voters within the taxing authority's boundaries
sign the petition.  If at least 60% of the votes cast are in
favor of lowering the ceiling, the lowered tax rate ceiling will
become effective.  The petition to lower the tax rate ceiling
cannot include debt service levies.
