Local severance taxes. Authorizes counties and cities to impose an additional local severance tax on persons engaging in the business of severing gases from the earth. A county or city may impose this additional tax at a rate not to exceed one percent of the gross receipts from the sale of gases severed within the county or city. The revenues from this increase shall be used for constructing new and improved water systems and lines in areas with natural water supplies that are insufficient in quality or quantity. The bill also provides that the fair market value of gases sold outside the county or city shall be measured at the time such gases are severed from the earth at a wellhead.
