What does this measure do?
Supports: Environment and Public Health, Healthcare Affordability
Broward County would add a 0.25% sales tax, 25 cents per $100, for five years to pay for heart and cancer screenings for uninsured residents and basic care for people who cannot afford it. You would pay a little more on purchases in the county.
Proposed by: Broward County Commission (resolution sponsored by County Mayor Mark Bogen, April 28, 2026)
Bogen is the county mayor, who chairs the commission. He championed the county's free heart-scan program after his mother died of a heart attack. He says it will run out of money without the tax.
