EFFECT OF ACT —— CURRENT LOCAL OPTION TAXES. 4 1. This Act shall not affect the imposition and collection 5 of a local option tax imposed, or that will take effect, as 6 the result of a petition received or a motion approved under 7 chapter 423B prior to July 1, 2013. 8 2. Local taxes described in subsection 1 shall continue 9 to be collected and disbursed to the relevant tax-imposing 10 jurisdictions pursuant to the provisions of chapter 423B, Code 11 2013, until ten years after July 1, 2013, the repeal date 12 specified in the ordinance imposing the tax, the date when any 13 bonded indebtedness secured by the tax outstanding on July 1, 14 2013, is retired, or such time as the tax is repealed according 15 to the provisions of chapter 423B, Code 2013, whichever is 16 sooner. 17 Sec. 23. APPLICABILITY. 18 1. This Act applies to petitions received pursuant to 19 section 423B.1, subsection 4, paragraph “a” , as amended in this 20 Act, on or after July 1, 2013. 21 2. This Act applies to motions adopted pursuant to section 22 423B.1, subsection 4, paragraph “b” , as amended in this Act, on 23 or after July 1, 2013. 24 EXPLANATION 25 This bill relates to the approval and imposition of local 26 option taxes. 27 Current Code chapter 423B authorizes the imposition of local 28 option taxes, including a local option sales and services tax. 29 Currently, such a proposed tax is only presented to the voters 30 of a whole county upon the filing of a petition signed by 31 eligible electors of the county equal in number to five percent 32 of the persons in the county who voted at the last preceding 33 general election or upon receipt by the county commissioner of 34 elections of motions requesting such submission, adopted by the 35 -12- LSB 1026YH (8) 85 md/sc 12/ 15
H.F. 60 governing bodies of the cities located within the county or the 1 governing body of the county for the unincorporated area of the 2 county, representing at least one-half of the population of the 3 county. 4 The bill amends the methods of seeking presentment of 5 the local option sales and services tax to the voters by 6 allowing the eligible electors of individual cities and the 7 unincorporated area of a county to file a petition for an 8 election to be held in the petitioning jurisdiction if such 9 petition is signed by eligible electors of the city or the 10 unincorporated area of the county, as applicable, equal in 11 number to five percent of the persons in the applicable city 12 or unincorporated area of the county who voted at the last 13 preceding general election. 14 The bill also removes the requirement that in order to have 15 the local sales and services tax presented to the voters, 16 motions must be approved by cities or the county for the 17 unincorporated area, representing at least one-half of the 18 county’s population. Instead, the bill allows individual 19 cities or the county for the unincorporated area to approve a 20 motion for an election on the local sales and services tax to 21 be held in only that jurisdiction. 22 The bill consequently removes the requirements related to 23 approval of a ballot question by cities that are contiguous to 24 each other and special provisions related to the approval and 25 imposition of a local sales and services tax in a city that is 26 located in more than one county. 27 The bill provides that a local sales and services tax 28 approved by the voters may not be imposed for a period 29 exceeding 10 years. In addition, the bill provides that if a 30 proposition for the imposition of a local sales and services 31 tax submitted to the voters of a city or the unincorporated 32 area of a county fails to gain approval, it shall not be 33 resubmitted to the voters of that jurisdiction in substantially 34 the same form for a period of three years following the 35 -13- LSB 1026YH (8) 85 md/sc 13/ 15
H.F. 60 election and may only be resubmitted on a day specified in 1 statute for special elections of a city or county. 2 Current Code section 423B.7 specifies the allocation 3 formula for local sales and services tax revenue among the 4 jurisdictions imposing the tax within a county. Seventy-five 5 percent of each county’s account containing such tax revenue 6 is remitted to the tax-imposing jurisdictions on the basis of 7 the county’s population residing in the unincorporated area 8 where the tax is imposed and those incorporated areas where 9 the tax is imposed and 25 percent of each county’s account is 10 remitted based on the sum of property tax dollars levied in 11 the incorporated areas and unincorporated area where the tax 12 is imposed. 13 The bill strikes this allocation formula for local sales and 14 services taxes newly imposed after July 1, 2013, and provides 15 that each county’s account shall be allocated to and remitted 16 to the jurisdictions imposing the local sales and services tax 17 on the basis of the location where the tax was collected. A 18 city receives all local sales and services tax collected in 19 the city and the county receives all local sales and services 20 tax collected in the unincorporated area of the county. The 21 bill imposes a duty on each city or county where a local sales 22 and services tax is imposed to assist the department of revenue 23 in identifying retail establishments within their jurisdiction 24 that are collecting the local sales and services tax. 25 The bill does not affect the imposition and collection of a 26 local tax imposed, or that will take effect, as the result of 27 a petition received or a motion approved before July 1, 2013. 28 Such local taxes will continue to be collected and disbursed 29 to the relevant tax-imposing jurisdictions pursuant to the 30 provisions of Code chapter 423B, Code 2013, until 10 years 31 after July 1, 2013, the repeal date specified in the ordinance 32 imposing the tax, the date when bonded indebtedness secured 33 by the tax is retired, or such time as the tax is repealed, 34 whichever is sooner. 35 -14- LSB 1026YH (8) 85 md/sc 14/ 15
