LOCAL GOVERNMENT: Limits fees charged to Orleans Parish taxing authorities for tax collection services

HB 795 limits fees charged to Orleans Parish taxing authorities for tax collection services to no more than 5% of the total taxes collected. It directly affects local governments in Orleans Parish (like New Orleans) that collect sales taxes through agreements with other taxing entities. The bill amends Louisiana law to require that any written agreement between these authorities for joint tax collection cannot charge fees exceeding this 5% cap on collected taxes. This is a straightforward fee limitation with no new tax or spending provisions.
