Summary

Session
Regular Session 2020
Title
DeKalb Co., real property filing and recording fee, distrib for mental health professional for CED Mental Health in co. and to sheriff's office for school resource officers, Sec. 45-25-250.17 am'd.
Summary

HB467 changes how DeKalb County's filing and recording fee funds are split, sending half to mental health services and half to school resource officers.

What This Bill Does

The bill amends Section 45-25-250.17 to require the county to distribute funds from filing and recording fees (after certain deductions) to the DeKalb County Rural Water Authority, with the remaining funds split evenly between two programs: CED Mental Health Center to hire mental health professionals in DeKalb County, and the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office to hire School Resource Officers in county and city schools. The distribution uses a base derived from the 1991-92 fiscal year revenues with annual September adjustments, and the act becomes effective the third month after the Governor signs it.

Who It Affects
  • DeKalb County government (County Commission, Rural Water Authority, and Sheriff's Office) — responsible for calculating and distributing the funds to hire mental health staff and school resource officers.
  • CED Mental Health Center staff and students in DeKalb County schools — benefit from funded mental health professionals and school resource officers.
Key Provisions
  • Provision 1: Beginning with fiscal year 2020-21, the county shall appropriate funds from filing and recording fees (and related delinquent tax penalties) to the DeKalb County Rural Water Authority, using the 1991-92 monthly revenue base with September adjustments to determine annual appropriations.
  • Provision 2: One-half of the accruing funds shall be used to employ mental health professionals through the CED Mental Health Center in DeKalb County, and the remaining one-half shall be used by the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office to employ School Resource Officers in the county's schools.
