Digest
SB 2588 allows municipalities to convert all or part of a local sales and use tax originally designated for sports and community venues into a tax for economic development purposes. The conversion must be approved by a majority of voters and is subject to certain procedural requirements, including notification to the state comptroller. The bill ensures that any outstanding bonds tied to the original tax are paid off before the conversion takes effect.
