Impact analysis
The stakes are real: a successful claim could redirect sales tax dollars to city budgets, while failure leaves the current carveout in place.
Local cities—and residents who rely on city services—stand to gain if the money is freed up.
No groups are explicitly identified as harmed, though current recipients of the carved-out revenue could lose funding if cities succeed.
