SB 1056 -- COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS SALES TAX

SPONSOR:  Griesheimer (Sutherland)

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on
Ways and Means by a vote of 10 to 0.

Currently, a community improvement district may, by resolution,
impose a sales tax at a rate of 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, or 1/2 of 1% or
1%.  This bill allows the sales tax to be imposed in increments
of one-eighth of 1%, up to a maximum of 1%.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2007, FY 2008, and
FY 2009.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that the bill does not create a new
tax, does not require a vote, and provides flexibility in
requesting an increase.

Testifying for the bill was Representative Sutherland.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
