Bill > HB4231

This bill amends the General Sales Tax Act to modify how sales tax revenue is distributed, specifically introducing a new provision that beginning with the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025, $75 million of the 4% sales tax will be deposited into the public safety and violence prevention fund. The bill makes several technical changes to the existing law, such as replacing the word "pursuant to" with "under" in one section and changing some numerical references for subsections due to the addition of new provisions. The bill also includes a tie-bar provision, meaning it will only take effect if a companion bill (Senate Bill No. ____ or House Bill No. 4232) is also enacted. The changes primarily affect how sales tax revenue is allocated across various state funds, including the general fund, state school aid fund, comprehensive transportation fund, and now the newly specified public safety and violence prevention fund. This modification represents a targeted approach to funding public safety initiatives by designating a specific amount of sales tax revenue to address violence prevention efforts.
