How can the state legislature authorize a municipality to levy taxes, duties, tolls, and fees?
The state legislature can authorize a municipality to levy taxes, duties, tolls, and fees by passing a law that outlines the specific procedures for levying, collecting, and appropriating these revenue sources. This law may also impose limits on the amount of revenue that can be raised through these means and assign certain taxes, duties, tolls, and fees to the municipality as part of its financing responsibilities. The law may also provide for making grants-in-aid from the Consolidated Fund of the State to support municipalities in their financial needs.
