HB390 would authorize Monroe County to levy a special one-cent sales tax and set how the money is distributed to Monroeville, Frisco City, and Excel, with minimums, conditions, and post-2010 annexation restrictions.
It amends Act 85-898 to authorize the Monroe County Commission to levy a one-cent sales tax in the county and directs how receipts are distributed to three municipalities. Monroeville would receive one-half of the one-cent tax collected within its limits; Frisco City and Excel would each receive one-half of the one-cent tax with minimum annual amounts ($30,000 for Frisco City and $2,750 for Excel) plus additional annual appropriations ($15,000 to Frisco City and $10,000 to Excel). It sets conditions that can remove these appropriations if the county provides garbage collection in the municipality and restricts appropriations for revenue from property annexed after January 1, 2010 (except for two specified parcels). It also allows the county to provide additional appropriations from the general fund via a resolution and clarifies that extra funds come from the general fund where the tax receipts are deposited; the act becomes effective immediately after governor approval.
