Summary of Bill A 7030 — Extends Madison County’s Authority to Impose an Additional Sales and Compensating Use Tax

Quick overview

  • Bill number: A 7030
  • Title: Extends the authority of the county of Madison to impose an additional rate of sales and compensating use taxes
  • Current status: Substituted by S6385 (the companion Senate bill will carry the proposal forward)
  • Introduced: March 18, 2025
  • Primary sponsor: Brian D. Miller
  • Related bill: S 6385 (companion)

Purpose and intent

  • The bill authorizes Madison County to impose an additional rate of sales and compensating use taxes.
  • The language in A 7030 indicates an expansion of the county’s ability to levy an extra tax rate for sales and use taxes, beyond existing local taxes.
  • Because A 7030 has been substituted by S6385, the operative provisions and specifics (such as rate level, duration, and funding purposes) would be carried in the companion bill S6385.

Key provisions (as indicated by the bill’s title and status)

  • Authorizes an additional sales tax rate within Madison County.
  • Authorizes a corresponding compensating use tax at an additional rate (the use tax is a tax on goods purchased outside the state for use within the state).
  • The exact rate, eligible uses, duration, exemptions, and administration are not detailed in the information provided and are typically defined in the enacted version (S6385 or subsequent amendments).

Who would be affected

  • Residents and consumers within Madison County would encounter the additional sales and use tax on applicable purchases.
  • Businesses and retailers operating in Madison County would be responsible for collecting the additional tax at the point of sale.
  • Local government (Madison County) would receive the resulting revenue, subject to the provisions in the implementing statute (whether the funds are earmarked for specific programs, infrastructure, services, etc., would be defined in the enacted version).

Procedural and timeline aspects

  • March 18, 2025: Introduced and referred to Ways and Means.
  • June 6, 2025: Reported (to Rules).
  • June 11, 2025: Reported again and then moved through Rules CAL.626; also ordered to third reading.
  • June 11, 2025: Substituted by S6385 — the companion Senate bill replaces A 7030 in the legislative process.
  • The current path indicates the policy is being carried forward in the companion bill, S6385.

Additional context

  • This is a local option tax mechanism; the companion S6385 will contain the specific fiscal provisions, including rate, authorization term, eligible uses, and implementation details.
  • Readers interested in the substantive financial impact should review S6385 and any amendments, notice of public hearings, and potential voter referenda provisions (if applicable in the state’s local sales tax framework).

If you’d like, I can compare A 7030 and S6385 once S6385’s text is available, and outline the exact provisions, fiscal impact, and timeline.
