Two bills providing additional flexibility on local revenues moved out of committee after hearings last week.
Two bills providing additional flexibility on local revenues moved out of committee after hearings last week.
HB 2041 would remove the non-supplant language on property tax levy lid lifts. It would also extend the $0.50 voter-approved local option county criminal justice levy to all counties by eliminating the language limiting it to counties with less than 90,000 population.
HB 2006 would remove the non-supplant language from city and county criminal justice assistance account distributions and the mental health sales tax. Currently, every city receives a portion of more than $35 million per biennium in criminal justice assistance, and one city levies the mental health sales tax.
