Summary: SB 419 directs how Morgan County's remaining TVA in-lieu-of-taxes funds from Act 2010-135 are distributed for specific years, sending up to $330,000 annually to the Community Foundation of Greater Decatur to split between Senate and House districts by population, with any excess going to the Morgan County legislative delegation office, and ratifies prior payments under Act 2014-109.
What This Bill Does
After funds are allocated under Act 2013-199, any remaining in-lieu-of-taxes proceeds from TVA that Morgan County would receive under Act 2010-135 are distributed as follows: for fiscal years starting October 1, 2018 through October 1, 2021, up to $330,000 each year goes to the Community Foundation of Greater Decatur, Inc. and is divided into two shares—one for the Senate District and one for the House Districts—based on the districts' approximate population relative to Morgan County. The Foundation has sole discretion over how to spend these funds. Any money left after this distribution each year goes to the Morgan County legislative delegation office. The act also ratifies payments made under Act 2014-109 and takes effect immediately.
