CA AB2443

Authorizes the Cities of Lancaster, Palmdale, and Victorville to each impose a transactions and use tax of up to 1% for general or specific purposes, subject to city council adoption and voter approval.

Allows these taxes to exceed the standard 2% combined rate limit established in Section 7251.1 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, with the new tax rate not counted toward that limit.

Requires that any imposed tax conform to the Transactions and Use Tax Law (Part 1.6) except for the combined rate limitation in Section 7251.1.

Automatically repeals each city's authorization on January 1, 2029, if an ordinance or citizens' initiative proposing the tax has not been approved by that date.

Declares the act an urgency statute taking effect immediately to address critical transportation infrastructure and general service needs in the three cities.
