Bill Summary

Authorizes the city of Lexington to impose a sales tax for public safety

AI Summary

This bill authorizes certain cities, including specific ones based on population and location, to impose a sales tax of up to one-half of one percent on retail sales. The revenue generated from this tax is specifically designated for improving public safety, which includes expenditures on equipment, salaries and benefits, and facilities for police, fire, and emergency medical providers. Before this tax can be implemented, the city's governing body must submit a proposal to the voters for approval, and if approved, the revenue must be deposited into a special trust fund and used solely for public safety purposes, supplementing rather than replacing existing public safety budgets.
