Senators
Fort of the 39th and Tate of the 38th offered the following
amendment:
Amend
the Senate State and Local Governmental Operations Committee substitute to HB 36
by striking all of paragraph (4) on lines 4 through 21 of page 8 and inserting
in lieu thereof the following:
∀(4)
Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, a distribution certificate
required by this subsection must be executed by the governing authorities of the
county within which the special district is located and each new qualified
municipality located wholly or partially within the special district. If a new
certificate is not filed within 60 days as required by paragraph (3) of this
subsection, the commissioner shall distribute the proceeds of the tax according
to a formula determined as follows:
(A)
Allocate to the new qualified municipality a hypothetical allocation of the
proceeds equal on a per capita basis to the average per capita allocation to the
other qualified municipalities in the county (according to population), thereby
producing a total allocation to all local governments in excess of 100 percent;
and
(B)
Reduce on a pro rata basis (according to percentage of tax
proceeds):
(i)
The allocation to the county;
(ii)
The hypothetical allocation to the new qualified municipality; and
(iii)
The allocation to each other qualified municipality
so
that the total allocation to all local governments is equal to 100
percent.
For
the purpose of determining the population of new qualified municipalities, only
that portion of the population of each such municipality which is located within
the special district shall be computed. For the purpose of determining
population under this Code section, all calculations of population shall be
according to the most recent decennial
census.∀
