TAX/SALES-USE, LOCAL: Authorizes the Webster Parish School Board to levy an additional sales and use tax

House Bill 61 authorizes the Webster Parish School Board to levy an additional sales and use tax within the parish. This bill allows the school board to impose a tax of up to one percent on retail sales, use, leases, rentals, and services. A key provision requires that the imposition of this tax must first be approved by a majority of voters in Webster Parish through an election. If approved, the tax would be collected by the school board for purposes outlined in the voter proposition.
