Summary

The bill repeals Randolph County's Industrial Development Council and redirects its funds to the county commission to pay the council's debts, until a new council is established.

What This Bill Does

Repeals the 2001 law that created the Randolph County Industrial Development Council. Requires all funds of the council, including tobacco tax proceeds distributed to it, to be placed in a county commission fund. Allows the county commission to use those funds to make payments on the council's indebtedness until a new industrial development council is created by the Legislature. Becomes effective on the first day of the third month after passage and approval by the Governor.

Who It Affects

• Randolph County government (county commission): gains control of the council's funds and uses them to pay the council's debts.
• Creditors or holders of the council's indebtedness: will be paid from the new county fund.
• Residents of Randolph County: potential impact on debt payments and timing of any future industrial development funding until a new council is established.

Key Provisions

• Section 1 repeals Act 2001-425, which established the Randolph County Industrial Development Council.
• Section 2 requires that all funds of the council, including the portion of the additional tobacco tax from Act 2003-213 distributed to the council, be placed in a fund in the county commission's office and may be used to pay indebtedness incurred by the council.
• Section 3 provides the act becomes effective on the first day of the third month after its passage and governor's approval; a new industrial development council may be established by the Legislature in the future.
