VA HB1156

Allows any Virginia locality to levy an additional local sales tax of up to 1% specifically for public school capital projects, including construction, major renovation, site acquisition, and infrastructure upgrades

Requires voter approval through a local referendum before the additional tax can be imposed, with notice published in local newspapers for three consecutive weeks prior to the election

Expands eligibility beyond the nine previously designated "qualifying localities" (Charlotte, Gloucester, Halifax, Henry, Mecklenburg, Northampton, Patrick, and Pittsylvania counties and the City of Danville) to include all Virginia localities

Removes the previous 20-year expiration requirement and provisions tying tax expiration to bond repayment dates, allowing localities more flexibility in the duration of the tax

Permits revenues to be used for debt service on public school capital projects in addition to direct funding of construction and renovation
