The extension of the rural county sales tax (.09 sales tax) passed out of the Senate Ways & Means Committee on April 4 and is in the Rules Committee waiting to be moved to the full Senate for a vote. HB 1267 would extend authority to impose the tax until 2054 and clarify eligibility for counties that exceeded the population threshold after its imposition.
Cities support this authority and often partner to use this revenue for economic development.
