"Section 6-1-175.
(A) Notwithstanding any other
provision of law that requires a county to expend funds to
provide a service on behalf of the State, or a department of the
State, the local governing body of a county, by ordinance, may
elect not to fund those services. These services include, but
are not limited to, the requirements of Sections 4-1-80,
4-1-130, 4-9-35, 6-9-10(A), 6-9-30, 7-23-40, 14-11-30, 17-3-550,
17-3-590, 17-28-320, 22-8-30, 24-3-20, 24-5-80, 30-1-80,
44-6-146(B), 44-96-80, 47-3-30, 63-3-350, and 63-3-360. It also
includes expenses for courts and judges, statewide data systems,
and indigent defense. It also includes other services that are
similar to those enumerated in this section. The State Fiscal
Accountability Authority shall determine which services are
sufficiently similar to allow a county to utilize the provisions
of this section.
(B) If a county elects
not to fund certain services, it must notify the state agency on
whose behalf the service were performed. Also, the county must
provide an itemized list of the services it elects not to fund,
to the State Treasurer, including the amount of county funds
expended on the service in the previous fiscal year. The State
Treasurer shall reduce the county's distribution from the Local
Government Revenue Sharing Fund by the amount itemized in the
notification, and the State Treasurer shall transfer that amount
to the general fund.
(C) A county may charge
the State a reasonable amount of rent if a state agency or
department occupies portions of a county owned real
property." /
