| HB1402 | Local government finance. | Local government finance. Phases in a total exemption for business personal property that is placed in service after January 1, 2025. Specifies that the exemption does not apply to business personal property that is placed in service on or before January 1, 2025. Increases the acquisition cost threshold for the business personal property tax exemption from $80,000 to $200,000 over six years. Provides that the 30% minimum valuation limitation does not apply to business personal property placed in service after January 1, 2025. Phases down the minimum valuation percentage from 30% to zero for business personal property placed in service on or before January 1, 2025. Phases down the homestead standard deduction over five years to zero beginning for taxes due and payable in 2031. Phases in an increase in the supplemental homestead deduction over five years to 2/3 of the assessed value (AV) of the homestead. Provides an AV deduction for all property that is subject to the 2% circuit breaker credit for excessive property taxes for assessment dates beginning in 2025. Provides that the amount of the AV deduction is increased over a five year period from a 7% AV deduction for taxes due and payable in 2026 to a 1/3 AV deduction for taxes due and payable in 2031, and each taxable year thereafter. Expires certain property tax deductions allowed in current law, and instead allows a credit against local property taxes in certain instances. Increases, beginning in 2027, the maximum local income tax (LIT) expenditure rate for all counties to 2.9%. Authorizes a city or town to impose a municipal LIT rate beginning in 2027 not to exceed 1.2%. Provides four rate categories within the county's total expenditure rate that a county may adopt: (1) up to a 1.2% rate for county general purpose revenue; (2) up to a 0.4% rate for fire protection and emergency medical services; (3) up to a 0.2% rate for nonmunicipal civil taxing unit general purpose revenue; and (4) up to 1.2% for certain cities and towns that are not eligible to adopt a municipal LIT rate. Defines "nonmunicipal civil taxing units". Eliminates the imposition of the LIT on individuals who maintain a principal place of business or employment in a county with a LIT but do not reside in the county. Eliminates provisions that provide for a distribution of LIT expenditure rate revenue to schools and civil taxing units in counties that imposed a rate under the prior county adjusted gross income tax (CAGIT). Expires the authority to impose a property tax relief rate under the LIT and repeals the levy freeze rate. Provides that an ordinance adopted to impose a LIT property tax relief rate shall expire December 31, 2026. Provides that, in order to continue to impose an expenditure tax rate after 2026, each county must adopt a new ordinance in 2026 (on or before October 1, 2026) to impose the rate. Provides that, for counties that fail to adopt an ordinance to renew an existing expenditure tax rate in 2026, the expenditure tax rate for the county in 2027 shall be the minimum tax rate necessary for existing debt service. Specifies that this does not prevent the county from renewing, imposing, or modifying an expenditure tax rate in subsequent years. Eliminates local income tax councils beginning July 1, 2026, and instead provides that the county fiscal body is the adopting body in all counties for purposes of the county LIT, and the city or town fiscal body is the adopting body in the case of a municipal LIT. Requires the budget agency to determine the difference between the balance in a county's local income tax trust account as of December 31, 2025, minus the county's certified distribution amount for 2027, and beginning in 2027, make five consecutive special distributions to counties over a five year period equal to 20% of that amount each year. Establishes the local income tax holding account within the state general fund for purposes of local income tax distributions. Provides that the budget agency shall administer the account. Requires the budget agency to maintain an accounting for each county imposing a local income tax based on annual returns filed by or for county taxpayers (same as current law). Requires undistributed amounts so accounted to be held for purposes of the local income tax holding account beginning after December 31, 2026. (Under current law, undistributed amounts are required to be held in reserve separate from the state general fund.) Requires the budget agency to present each December to the budget committee a report of the following: (1) An estimate of the monthly certified distribution amounts for the immediately succeeding calendar year. (2) A description of the method used to determine the monthly estimates. (3) The balance in the local income tax holding account, including an accounting of the undistributed amounts held for purposes of the account. Beginning in 2027, requires the budget agency to make monthly transfers to the local income tax holding account of the amount determined for the month in its report to the budget committee. Repeals a provision that requires the budget agency to adjust the certified distribution of a county for the succeeding year following a tax rate change. Makes technical corrections. Makes a continuous appropriation. | Dead |
