Summary

HB417 updates how Sumter County distributes proceeds from hazardous waste disposal fees, adding new fixed allocations and detailed ongoing distributions including funding for the North Sumter Day Center.

What This Bill Does

It changes Section 4 to establish monthly fixed payments to specific entities (Hill Hospital Bond Obligation, Sumter Industrial Board, Solid Waste Fund, City of Livingston Fire and Rescue for training/equipment, and the North Sumter Day Center). After these, the remaining funds are allocated to a broad list of local government offices, towns, schools, libraries, and various nonprofit and governmental groups according to set percentages, with a cap on the Sumter County Sewer Authority share. Recipients must be nonprofit or governmental and submit annual financial reports; if a recipient dissolves, its funds are held in trust and redistributed; the act becomes effective after governor approval.

• Group 1: Local government bodies and county entities in Sumter County (e.g., Hill Hospital Bond Obligation; Sumter Industrial Board; Solid Waste Fund; City of Livingston Fire and Rescue; Sumter County Commission, Board of Education, Trust Fund, and other listed towns and departments) that receive fixed monthly amounts or percentage-based shares of remaining funds.
• Group 2: Nonprofit and governmental organizations and libraries (e.g., North Sumter Day Center; Sumter County Library Systems, York Library, Ruby Pickens Tartt Library; Coleman Culture Center; Sumter Historical Society; Federation of Southern Cooperatives; Sumter County Rescue Squad; Fire Fighters Association; Chamber of Commerce; University of West Alabama; Sumter County Water Authority; Sumter County Sewer Authority; Sumter County Department of Human Resources; Hill Hospital; Sumter Industrial Board) that receive specified percentages of the remaining funds.
