Bill Caption

Relating to the authority of a county assistance district to impose a sales and use tax.

Fiscal Notes

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

Bill Analysis

SB 288 would exempt rights-of-way and county-owned property that is being used for a public purpose, and in which no person has a place of business to which a sales tax permit has been issued, to be considered in determining the combined tax rate. This bill would allow county assistance districts to spend the money already collected by the CAD within the annexed property to fund roads and facilities with existing sales taxes.

Vote Recommendation Notes

Texas Action is neutral on SB 288 because it does not affect our liberty principles.
