Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 1674 applies to a county with a population of more than 100,000. It authorizes the creation of a library district, limited in territory to not more than one county, serving areas outside cities with municipal libraries. A library district is funded by a sales and use tax of one-eighth, one-fourth, three-eighths, or one-half of one percent, as approved by voters in the district's confirmation election. However, a district's tax rate may not cause local sales and use taxes anywhere in the district to exceed a total of two percent. The act authorizes a district to impose necessary fees or charges for the provision of services. It requires a new election for any district expansion.
