Relating to requiring voter approval for certain local tax rate increases adopted pursuant to a disaster declaration.

HB 119 requires local governments to obtain voter approval before increasing local tax rates in response to a declared disaster. This means that after a disaster (like a hurricane or flood) is officially recognized, any proposed tax hike must be approved by residents through a public vote. The bill directly affects local governments and voters in affected communities, as it mandates public consent for these specific tax changes. It applies only to tax rate increases tied to disaster declarations, not routine local tax adjustments.
