Authorizes Vernon County to collect a 1% sales tax for hospital services upon a favorable vote by the people

HB 3475 would allow Vernon County to seek voter approval for a 1% sales tax on retail purchases within the county, specifically to fund hospital operations. The tax requires a majority vote in a county election and must be listed separately on receipts. If approved, the revenue would go exclusively to hospital services, deposited into a dedicated trust fund managed by the state. The bill does not impose the tax automatically - it only enables the process for Vernon County residents to decide through a vote.
