Title: Chambers, Clay, and Randolph Counties, local acts, Act 2010-400, Act 2010-401, and Act 2010-402, 2010 Reg. Sess., regarding distribution of tobacco tax, legislative intent regarding distribution expressed
Summary: This joint resolution says the Legislature intends that tobacco tax revenue for Chambers, Clay, and Randolph Counties be distributed the same way as it was before the 2010 county acts.
What This Bill Does
If enacted, the resolution states that money collected as a tobacco tax in these counties before the acts took effect, and any money remitted after from taxes assessed or stamped before sale and before the acts took effect, should continue to be distributed in the same manner as before Acts 2010-400, 2010-401, and 2010-402. It clarifies that this is about maintaining the prior distribution pattern, not changing how distributions are calculated. The resolution does not create new distribution rules; it preserves the existing practice for these counties.
