  1  3    If a county hospital is established, the board of
  1  4 supervisors, at the time of levying ordinary taxes, shall levy
  1  5 a tax at the rate voted not to exceed fifty-four cents per
  1  6 thousand dollars of assessed value in any one year for the
  1  7 erection and equipment of the hospital, and also a tax not to
  1  8 exceed twenty-seven cents per thousand dollars of value for
  1  9 the improvement, maintenance, and replacements of the
  1 10 hospital, as certified by the board of hospital trustees.
  1 11 However, in counties having a population of two hundred
  1 12 twenty-five thousand or over, the levy for taxes payable in
  1 13 the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1996 2000, and for

  1 15 the hospital shall not exceed one dollar two dollars and
  1 16 seventy-five five cents per thousand dollars of assessed value
  1 17 in any one year.  The proceeds of the taxes constitute the
  1 18 county public hospital fund and the fund is subject to review
  1 19 by the board of supervisors in counties over two hundred
  1 20 twenty-five thousand.  However, the board of trustees of a
  1 21 county hospital, where funds are available in the county
  1 22 public hospital fund of the county which are unappropriated,
  1 23 may use the unappropriated funds for erecting and equipping
  1 24 hospital buildings and additions thereto without authority
  1 25 from the voters of the county.  
  1 26                           EXPLANATION 
  1 27    This bill increases the maximum property tax levy for the
  1 28 county hospital fund in counties having a population over
  1 29 225,000 from $1.75 per $1,000 of assessed valuation of taxable
  1 30 property to $2.05 per $1,000 of assessed valuation of taxable
  1 31 property.  The revenue may be used for the improvement and
  1 32 maintenance of the county hospital.  The tax levy increase
  1 33 applies to taxes payable in the fiscal year beginning July 1,
  1 34 2000, and subsequent fiscal years.
