AI Generated Summary
This legislative bill concerns voter approval for a regional transportation sales and use tax in Minnesota. It states that for the counties in the metropolitan area, which includes Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, and Washington, the imposition of this tax will be decided by a majority vote in each county during the 2026 general election. If the majority of voters in a county approve, that county will be included in the area where the tax is applied. The tax is set at a rate of three-quarters of one percent on taxable retail sales and uses within these counties until December 31, 2026. Starting from January 1, 2027, the same tax rate will apply, but only in the counties where it was approved by the voters.
