Summary

The bill requires Lauderdale County to fund sheriff's office uniforms and an annual upkeep allowance from TVA in-lieu-of-tax funds, retroactive to October 1, 2006.

What This Bill Does

It directs the Lauderdale County Community Development Commission to provide uniforms and an annual allowance to deputy sheriffs, the chief deputy, corrections officers, and other sheriff-designated employees. It specifies that these costs will be paid from the Community Development Fund funded by the TVA in-lieu-of-tax payments, starting with the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2006, and overrides conflicting provisions in Act 2008-125. The act becomes effective on the first day of the third month after passage, but its provisions are retroactive to October 1, 2006.

Who It Affects

• Lauderdale County Community Development Commission, which will pay for the uniforms and allowance from the Community Development Fund sourced from TVA in-lieu-of-tax payments.

Key Provisions

• The Commission shall furnish uniforms and an annual allowance sufficient to maintain those uniforms for the specified sheriff's office personnel.
• Costs for these uniforms and the allowance shall be paid from the Community Development Fund created by Act 2008-125, funded by the additional three percent TVA in-lieu-of-tax payments, beginning with the fiscal year that started October 1, 2006.
• Notwithstanding Act 2008-125, this funding arrangement is established in the act, effectively prioritizing these costs from the TVA fund.
• The act shall become effective on the first day of the third month after it passes and is approved by the Governor, and its provisions are retroactive to October 1, 2006.
