Session

Regular Session 2012

Title

Historical Commission, ad valorem tax allocations for Confederate Memorial Park at Mountain Creek, reallocated to Medicaid Agency, Sec. 40-8-3 am'd.

Summary

HB8 would redirect 1% of the gross amount from the $0.10 property tax per $100 of assessed value from Confederate Memorial Park funding to the Alabama Medicaid Agency.

What This Bill Does

Currently, 1% of the gross amount collected on the $.10 per $100 is expended by the Alabama Historical Commission for Confederate Memorial Park. HB8 would reallocate that 1% to the Alabama Medicaid Agency. The rest of the tax allocations remain the same ($.30 for public schools and $.25 for state revenue). As a result, funding for Confederate Memorial Park would decrease while Medicaid would gain funding from this source.

Who It Affects

• Alabama Historical Commission and Confederate Memorial Park funding would be reduced or redirected due to the moved 1% allocation.
• Alabama Medicaid Agency would receive additional funding from the redirected 1% allocation.

Key Provisions

• Amends Section 40-8-3 to redirect the 1% of the gross amount collected on the $.10 per $100 assessed value from the Alabama Historical Commission to the Alabama Medicaid Agency.
• Keeps the existing allocations of $.30 per $100 for public schools and $.25 per $100 for state revenue; the change only affects the recipient of the 1% allocation for the Confederate Memorial Park.
• The act becomes effective immediately following passage and governor's approval.
• The $.10 per $100 relief levy for needy Confederate soldiers and widows remains in law, but the 1% portion previously used for Confederate Memorial Park is redirected to Medicaid.
