Current Bill Summary

SJR 20 - This constitutional amendment, if approved by the voters, would provide that, in any county, municipality, or special taxing district which levies a dedicated property tax or sales tax specifically for the provision of emergency services, and whose boundaries overlap the boundaries of another county, municipality, or special taxing district which also levies a dedicated property tax or sales tax for the same purpose, persons residing in such overlapping boundaries shall only be required to remit such tax to one taxing jurisdiction. The local election authority shall submit to the voters living within the overlapping boundaries the question of from which political subdivision such voters shall continue to receive services from and to which political subdivision the voters shall remit the tax.

This constitutional amendment is substantially similar to SJR 45 (2020).
