HB281 changes how Shelby County's beer tax proceeds fund the sheriff's personnel board and ensures any excess funds go to support county law enforcement.
It amends the funding rules for Shelby County's sheriff's personnel board by allowing up to $275,000 per year in beer tax proceeds to be used for the board, with the board's annual expenditures capped at $150,000. Any remaining tax proceeds after covering the board's expenditures would be paid to the county general fund and used exclusively by the Sheriff's Department for law enforcement purposes. The act becomes effective on the first day of the third month after it is passed and approved.
