What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a county may impose a sales and use tax at the rate of 0.5

percent of the sales price of tangible personal property, goods, and services sold or

used in the county. The county sales and use tax may be imposed only for the purpose

of reducing the county's property tax levy.

Under the bill, Milwaukee County may impose an additional sales and use tax

at the rate of no more than 0.5 percent of the sales price of tangible personal property,

goods, and services sold or used in the county in order to pay for parks, recreation,

and culture. If the county imposes the tax, it may not levy property taxes for such

purposes.
