Allows for <br />imposition of income tax assessment on residents of affected counties, with <br />maximum rate to be specified in proclamation and with approval of county <br />governing body. Declares emergency, effective on passage. <br />Relating to: Relating to public safety fiscal emergencies; declaring an emergency <br /> <br />Staff Recommendation: Neutral <br />IGR Committee Vote: Priority 2 – Oppose, 2:1.
