SECTION 3. (A) Appropriations in Section 2 are in priority order beginning with item (1) and each separate appropriation must be fully funded before the next appropriation in order is paid.
(B) Unexpended funds appropriated pursuant to this Part may be carried forward to succeeding fiscal year and expended for the same purposes.
SECTION 4. A. Chapter 45, Title 12 of the 1976 Code is amended by adding:
"Section 12-45-73. (A) Every property tax bill for real property must include for each governmental entity imposing a property tax, the tax due for the preceding property tax year for both the operating and debt service for that entity, as well as the current year's tax due for operating and debt service purposes. This requirement does not apply when improvements have been made to the property or the assessment ratio or use classification of the property has changed from the previous property tax year.
(B) To the extent funds are appropriated for this purpose, any governmental entity which issues property tax notices must be reimbursed for any cost incurred to implement the requirements of this section upon following the procedure set forth below, in the manner set forth below. Reimbursable costs under this provision include costs for acquisition or modification of computer software, computer hardware, tax forms, incremental increases in postage due to increased form size or weight, and any surcharges or increases in the cost of a contract between the governmental entity and a private service which handles property tax notice preparation, printing, or mailing for which the governmental entity is contractually bound to pay.
A special one-time appropriation from the general fund of the State of two hundred fifty thousand dollars is provided for the reimbursements authorized by this subsection. Any governmental entity affected by this requirement may submit a cost estimate solely for the cost of implementing this requirement to the Budget & Control Board, Advisory Council on Intergovernmental Relations, which shall provide an analysis of statewide costs for implementation and shall report its findings to the General Assembly by January 20, 1997. Funds provided herein may be allocated by the Budget & Control Board to reimburse local entities, to provide objective cost reviews, and to develop uniform property tax reporting processes."
B. Upon approval by the Governor, this section is effective for property tax years beginning after 1996.
All Acts or parts of Acts inconsistent with any of the provisions of Part I, Part III, Part IV, Part V, or Part VI of this Act are suspended for the Fiscal Year 1996-97.
All Acts or parts of Acts inconsistent with any of the provisions of Part II of this Act are repealed.
Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, this Act takes effect immediately upon its approval by the Governor./
