Existing law authorizes various local governmental entities, subject to certain limitations and approval requirements, to levy a transactions and use tax for general purposes, in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in the Transactions and Use Tax Law, including a requirement that the combined rate of all taxes that may be imposed in accordance with that law in the county not exceed 2%. Existing law, the Bay Area County Traffic and Transportation Funding Act, authorizes nine specified counties in the San Francisco Bay Area, including the County of San Mateo, to establish a county transportation authority and levy a retail transactions and use tax of either 0.5% or 1% for specified transportation purposes if certain requirements are met, including that the ordinance levying the tax meets the requirements of the Transactions and Use Tax Law and is approved by 23 of the electors voting on the measure. This bill would authorize the County of San Mateo to, in accordance with the Bay Area County Traffic and Transportation Funding Act, impose a transactions and use tax for countywide transportation programs at a rate of no more than 0.5% that, in combination with other specified taxes, would exceed the combined rate limit. The bill would also authorize the Transportation Agency for Monterey County to impose a transactions and use tax for the support of countywide transportation programs at a rate of no more than 0.375% that, in combination with other specified taxes, would exceed the combined rate limit. These provisions would be repealed by their own terms on January 1, 2026, if an ordinance is not approved, as specified. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the County of San Mateo and the Transportation Agency for Monterey County.
