Authorizes the city of Lexington to impose a sales tax for public safety
SB 1671 would allow qualifying Missouri cities, including Lexington, to impose up to a 0.5% sales tax for public safety purposes, subject to voter approval. The tax requires a citywide ballot measure where voters must approve the specific tax rate (e.g., "Shall the city of Lexington impose a citywide sales tax of ___% for public safety?"). All revenue must be deposited into a special trust fund and used exclusively for police, fire, and emergency medical services equipment, salaries, and facilities. The bill specifies detailed population and geographic criteria cities must meet to qualify for this tax authority.
