A BILL to amend the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, by adding thereto a new section, designated §8-13-13a, relating to requirements for municipalities when they implement or increase a municipal fee.

Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, be amended by adding thereto a new section, designated §8-13-13a, to read as follows:
ARTICLE 13. TAXATION AND FINANCE.

(a) A municipality that implements or increases a special fee pursuant to the provisions of section thirteen, article thirteen of this chapter, shall by ordinance:
(1) Establish or increase the special fee;
(2) Specify the reason for the special fee; and
(3) Establish a municipal "Special Revenue Account" for the special fee.
(b) A municipality only expends the money from the municipal "Special Revenue Account" for the specific use as specified in the ordinance for the special fee. No money from the special fee may be placed into the "General Revenue Account" of the municipality.



NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to require municipalities to enact an ordinance and establish a specific purpose when they implement or increase a municipal fee.

§8-13-13a is new; therefore, strike-throughs and underscoring have been omitted.
