SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Special tax district in Westmoreland County. Authorizes the establishment of a special tax district within Westmoreland County. The special tax district will encompass the county school division with the exclusion of the Town of Colonial Beach. This bill provides for a very careful, detailed calculation of the revenues attributable to the county and those revenues attributable to the town, with the calculations drawn according to state law and pro rata allocation of each jurisdiction's tax revenue, etc. using fractions (percentages) and committing the jurisdictions to using baseline data that is clearly identifiable. Any dispute will be settled by an arbitration panel, consisting of one person not associated with the county but selected by the county, one person not associated with the town but selected by the town, and the Auditor of Public Accounts, with the majority decision binding on both jurisdictions. The bill contains an emergency clause.
