  • Reduces the annexation adjustment factor from 10% to 6.67% in 2016, then to 3.33% in 2017, before eliminating it entirely in 2018

  • Changes distribution of sales taxes on motor vehicles, trailers, boats, and outboard motors from a 75%/25% split (with 25% based on transaction location) to 100% population-based distribution by January 1, 2018

  • Expands municipal sales tax options for cities in charter counties with 900,000+ population from one-eighth or one-fourth percent to also include three-eighths or one-half percent rates, subject to voter approval
