Legislation that allows counties and cities to levy incremental sales taxes to pass for special projects passed the Georgia House on  Thursday.

House Bill 134, sponsored by Rep. Bubber Epps, R-Dry Branch, continues current law that allows local governments to enact up to 1 percent in transportation special purpose local option sales taxes (known as TSPLOST) in increments .05 percent.

The bill passed 106-58.

Counties could split that 1 percent between transit and traditional infrastructure taxes, but the tax would expire after five years.
