Summary: HB442 changes how Marshall County distributes extra TVA in-lieu-of-taxes payments, directing 25% to schools and 75% to a new county discretionary fund managed by a three-member committee.
What This Bill Does
It specifies how the additional TVA in-lieu-of-taxes money Marshall County receives from Act 2010-135 is split: 25% goes to the local school systems on a per-pupil basis, with NBCT teachers potentially receiving up to $5,000 if their payment falls short; 75% goes into a county discretionary fund for general lawful use. The Discretionary Fund Committee, made up of three local residents appointed by state and House members, will oversee the discretionary funds. The distributions are separate from other TVA payments and take effect immediately after passage.

Who It Affects
Marshall County and its school systems (county and city boards of education) receive a defined split of the increased TVA payments (25% to schools, 75% to a discretionary fund).
National Board Certified teachers in Marshall County receive a potential top-up to $5,000 from the NBCT portion when their payment would otherwise be less.

Key Provisions
The increase in TVA in-lieu-of-taxes payments to Marshall County will be distributed as 25% to the county school boards on a per-pupil basis, with NBCT payments topped up to $5,000 if needed.
75% of the increase goes to a county discretionary fund for any lawful purpose, to be spent by warrant under the direction of the Discretionary Fund Committee.
A Discretionary Fund Committee is created, consisting of three members: one Marshall County resident appointed by the state Senator representing the district with the most Marshall County residents, and two members appointed by the House members representing districts with the greatest and second greatest Marshall County residents.
Distributions under this act are separate from other TVA in-lieu-of-taxes payments for Marshall County.
The act becomes effective immediately upon passage and approval by the Governor.
