SECTION 1.
An Act creating the office of tax commissioner of Catoosa County, approved February 10, 1937 (Ga. L. 1937, p. 1267), as amended, particularly by an Act approved April 16, 1999 (Ga. L. 1999, p. 4236), is amended by striking Section 5 and inserting in lieu thereof a new Section 5 to read as follows:

"SECTION 5.
The tax commissioner of Catoosa County shall receive an annual salary as provided in Code Section 48-5-183 of the O.C.G.A. payable in equal monthly installments. There shall also be paid to the tax commissioner, but not as personal funds of the tax commissioner, the sum of $275,000.00 per annum, to be paid in equal semimonthly installments for clerical help necessary for the performance of the duties of said office. All allowances and salaries paid under this Act shall be paid directly by the county treasurer to the person or persons performing such clerical help, and no person performing such clerical help for the tax commissioner shall be related to said commissioner closer that the fifth degree of consanguinity or affinity. In the event the maximum allowance for clerical help is not needed for such purpose, then the unused portion thereof shall remain as part of the general funds of the county."

SECTION 2.
This Act shall become effective on January 1, 2007.

SECTION 3.
All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
