Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The stated purpose of this bill is to provide for the approval of the county commission of Class I and Class II Municipal development or redevelopment tax financing districts.
According to our interpretation, passage of this bill would have no impact on State or local revenues. Under current law, county commissions are required to obtain the formal consent of a municipality if any portion of a proposed county development district is within the municipality. This bill makes the consent requirement reciprocal. That is, the governing body of a Class I and Class II municipality creating a development or redevelopment tax financing district must obtain the formal approval of the county commission of the county in which the major portion of the municipality is located.
There would be no additional administrative costs to the Tax Department associated with this bill. Certain County Commissions may experience a slight increase in administrative costs upon passage of this bill.
