This legislation authorizes a statewide floating homestead exemption for all local governments including an opt-out provision, and revises the tax estimate, three-year lock, sales ratio study, and settlement conference statutes. It also simplifies the local sales tax cap and creates a new type of local sales tax for property tax relief.
