HB 202 -- Transportation Districts

Sponsor:  Rizzo

This bill allows all property owners in a transportation
development district to cast their ballot by unanimous petition
approving any measure submitted to them as voters, if all such
owners joined in the petition for formation of the district.
When a procedure is used where no eligible registered voters
reside within a district, the court may call a meeting for the
purpose of electing directors without publication, if all real
property owners joined in the petition for formation of the
district.

The sales tax for a transportation district may be imposed in
increments of one-eighth of one percent up to a maximum of one
and one-half percent on all retail receipts.  Currently, the
sales tax may be imposed in increments of one-eight of one
percent, one-fourth of one percent, three-eights of one percent,
one-half of one percent, or one percent.
