Measure Synopsis

This measure modernizes the existing utility users tax (UUT) on communication services without increasing the current tax rate of 6% on charges for the use of communication services in Stockton. The measure uses modern definitions that will remain current with changes in technology. All means to transmit communications services will be taxed in a uniform and equitable manner, regardless of the technology used. Revenue from the UUT is deposited in the City's general fund to be used for municipal services and general governmental purposes. Approval of the measure requires a vote by the majority of the electorate.
