Beta

This bill would remove an existing restriction that limits the state legislature's ability to require cities to spend money or raise taxes. By repealing this rule, the General Assembly would have broader authority to impose financial obligations on Kentucky's city governments. The conforming change updates a related statute to match the repeal. Who it may affect: residents of Kentucky cities and local government officials.
