Bill > HB2946

This bill provides a specific provision for a small city (with less than 10,000 residents in a county with less than 150,000 residents) to hold a special election to renew a transaction privilege tax (TPT, which is similar to a sales tax) that was originally approved by voters in 2020 and is set to expire by July 15, 2026. The city must have a charter requirement that mandates an election to levy such a tax. The special election can be held on either March 10, 2026, or May 19, 2026, and the ballot must specify the tax rate, which must be the same rate that was approved in 2020. The bill includes a sunset provision, meaning these special election provisions will automatically be repealed after December 31, 2027, effectively making this a temporary authorization for this specific city's tax renewal process.
