Authorizes the city of Nevada to impose a sales tax for public safety
HB 1572 authorizes specific cities in Nevada meeting defined population and county criteria (e.g., cities with 3,000-16,000 residents in certain county settings) to propose a sales tax of up to 0.5% for public safety. Cities must first gain voter approval via a ballot measure requiring majority support before implementing the tax. Revenue collected must be used exclusively for public safety services - including police, fire, and emergency medical equipment, salaries, and facilities - and deposited into a dedicated trust fund. The tax is in addition to existing sales taxes but cannot be implemented without voter consent, and any leftover funds must continue funding public safety after the tax ends.
