This bill modifies the distribution of simplified sellers use tax proceeds to municipalities by allowing annual adjustments based on annexation population increases.

  • Section 40-23-197

    the ratio of the population of each municipality to the total population of all municipalities shall be adjusted to include any increase in population as a result of any annexation by a municipality which occurs in the period between the release of a federal decennial census and the release of the next federal decennial census. → the ratio of the population of each municipality to the total population of all municipalities would be adjusted annually to include increases in population as a result of annexations.

    This change allows for annual adjustments to municipality population ratios for tax distribution based on annexations, rather than only during the decennial census.
