AI Summary

  • Proposes a constitutional amendment to be voted on in November 2026 allowing counties to impose a local income tax if the state reduces its income tax rate below 4.5%
  • Caps the combined county and state income tax rate at 4.5%, meaning counties can only tax up to the difference between the state rate and 4.5%
  • Requires county voter approval at a general election before any county income tax can take effect
  • Creates the "County Income Tax Trust Fund" administered by the Director of Revenue, with 1% retained by the state for collection costs and the remainder distributed monthly to the taxing county
