AI Summary
This bill allows the County of Santa Cruz to impose a local sales tax, known as a transactions and use tax, at a rate of up to 0.5% for general or specific county programs, even if this would cause the total local sales tax rate to exceed the current 2% limit. This special authorization is temporary, expiring on December 31, 2030, and requires the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors to pass an ordinance and for the voters of Santa Cruz County to approve the tax measure. The bill declares that this is an urgency statute, meaning it takes effect immediately, to address unique fiscal pressures in Santa Cruz County that are impacting essential services.
