Overview: SCR 1035 is a concurrent resolution that seeks to create an exception to the state's expenditure limitation for local government revenues.
Purpose and Intent: The main purpose of SCR 1035 is to provide local governments with more flexibility in how they can utilize their own-source revenues, such as taxes and fees. The resolution aims to exempt these local revenues from the state's existing expenditure limitation, which currently restricts how local governments can spend their funds.
Key Provisions:
- Exempts local government own-source revenues from the state's expenditure limitation
- Allows local governments to use their own-source revenues for a wider range of purposes, including infrastructure, public services, and economic development
- Maintains the state's expenditure limitation for state-level revenues and transfers to local governments
Affected Parties and Impacts: The changes proposed in SCR 1035 would primarily benefit local governments, including cities, counties, and special districts. By providing more flexibility in the use of their own-source revenues, local governments could have greater autonomy in addressing their unique needs and priorities.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: SCR 1035 is currently in the Senate Second Reading stage. If passed by the legislature, the resolution would not require voter approval as it is a concurrent resolution rather than a bill proposing a change to state law.
