| This bill makes significant changes to the legislative procedural process for adopting bills that propose a tax exemption having a fiscal impact. The term 'tax exemption' is defined as an exemption, exclusion, or deduction from the tax base or a tax credit, deferral, or preferential rate. The bill does not differentiate between state and local taxes so presumably it will apply to local taxes. The term 'fiscal impact' is not defined. Consequently, it would appear that any financial impact is sufficient to trigger the new review process. |

| This legislation stipulates that both cities and counties pay dues to their regional commission based on their respective incorporated and unincorporated residents. County dues must come from their insurance premium tax or other solely-unincorporated revenue source(s). Furthermore, regional commission dues, thus membership, would be optional for counties and cities. |

| This legislation revises and clarifies the purposes for which a county may expend proceeds of the insurance premium tax. It clarifies that the expenditures must be for the primary benefit of the unincorporated area. It clarifies that any garbage and solid waste disposal purpose is allowed and clarifies that the governing authority can specify any service not already included in the list as long as it benefits primarily the unincorporated area. |
