What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Currently a local professional baseball park district may impose a sales tax and a use tax within the area of its jurisdiction, and a district may issue revenue bonds if the district board determines that the district's lease with a professional baseball team franchise that uses the district's baseball facilities is for a term of at least 30 years. Generally, the sales and use taxes may not be imposed and collected after the district pays off the bonds issued to construct the stadium and funds a special maintenance and capital improvements fund.
Under this bill, the sales and use taxes may not be collected, generally, after December 31, 2019. Also under the bill, any lease between the district and the baseball team that uses the facilities must extend for at least the same number of years during which the sales and use tax is collected.
