Fiscal Detail and Notes
This bill allows a municipality to impose a local option sales tax of no more than 1% by referendum.  The Department of Administration and Financial Services would incur costs to administer the program which would be covered by the sales tax revenue. The amounts would depend on the number of municipalities that choose to have a local sales tax and on the amount of sales realized.
