Summary

This bill lets Greene County add a 3-mill property tax, but only if voters approve it in a local election, and the money goes to the county general fund to support education.

What This Bill Does

It authorizes the Greene County Commission to levy an additional ad valorem tax of three mills on taxable property, added to any existing taxes. The revenue from this tax would be paid to the county general fund for educational purposes.

The act becomes effective immediately after governor approval or once it becomes law.

• Qualified Greene County voters would decide in a referendum whether to approve the tax increase.

Key Provisions
