What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, local levy increase limits are applied to the property tax levies that are imposed by political subdivisions in December of each year. Current law prohibits a political subdivision from increasing its levy by a percentage that exceeds its “valuation factor," which is defined as the greater of either 0 percent or the percentage change in the political subdivision's equalized value due to new construction, less improvements removed.
Under this bill, a political subdivision must reduce its allowable levy by the estimated amount of revenue generated by any transportation user fee imposed by the political subdivision. The bill defines “transportation user fee” as “a fee or special charge imposed by a political subdivision upon a property owner or highway user for use of the highways of the political subdivision or for benefits conferred upon a property by the highways of the political subdivision.” The bill specifies that the term does not include special assessments or certain special charges.
