HB 2874 - DIGEST |
Authorizes a transportation benefit district to impose a sales and use tax for a period exceeding ten years if the transportation benefit district is located in a county that borders another state and has a population of more than four hundred thousand, and a portion of the sales tax is used to fund initial construction on a highway of statewide significance within the county. |
Declares the tax imposed and collected under chapters 82.08 and 82.12 RCW, less any credits allowed under chapter 82.14 RCW, on initial construction for a highway of statewide significance to be constructed by a transportation benefit district in a county that borders another state and has a population of more than four hundred thousand, must be transferred to the highway project to defray the costs or pay debt service on that project. In the case of a toll project, this transfer or credit must be used to lower the overall cost of the project and thereby the corresponding tolls. |
