Authorizes counties to impose a local sales tax for funding senior citizen services programs, subject to voter approval
HB 3143 allows counties to propose a local sales tax of up to 0.25% on everyday purchases, but only after voters approve it in an election. If approved, the tax revenue must be used exclusively for senior citizen services, such as meals, transportation, or wellness programs, and cannot fund other county expenses. The tax would be collected separately from other sales taxes, administered by the state revenue department, and deposited into a dedicated "Senior Services Sales Tax Trust Fund." Counties must submit the tax proposal to voters via a specific ballot question asking if they support the tax for senior services.
