SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)

Sales and use taxes; statewide and regional taxes to fund public education and transportation. Provides for three referendum questions to be voted on at the November 5, 2002 election, each question being mutually exclusive and asking the sense of the voter on additional sales and use taxes. The additional sales and use taxes become effective if the referendum question on the additional tax is affirmed by the voters. One question asks the voters of the Eighth Planning District if there should be an additional one-half of one-percent sales and use tax in the counties and cities of such district with the revenues from the tax to be used for regional transportation projects and programs in Northern Virginia. A second question asks the voters in several counties and cities of the Hampton Roads Planning District if there should be an additional one-percent sales and use tax in such counties and cities with the revenues from the tax to be used for regional transportation projects and programs in Hampton Roads. Both referendum questions are contingent upon approval by a majority of persons voting in a joint referendum of all the cities and counties in the Eighth Planning District and several of the cities and counties in the Hampton Roads Planning District, respectively. The last referendum question asks all persons in the Commonwealth voting on November 5, 2002, if there should be an additional one-half of one-percent sales and use tax in all jurisdictions in the Commonwealth with the revenues to be used for expenses incurred in the operation of public schools and capital projects for public schools. The additional sales and use taxes associated with each referendum question would become effective July 1, 2003.
