Effective the first day of July, two thousand two, two thirds of one percent of all proceeds of the tax imposed by this article shall be distributed back to the counties in which they were collected. Effective the first day of July, two thousand three, and thereafter, one percent of all proceeds of the tax imposed by this article shall be distributed back to the counties in which they were collected. Such proceeds may be used for any governmental purpose, including, but not limited to, public education.


NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to require that one percent of all sales tax collected be distributed back into the county in which it was collected; and to provide that the funds may be used for any governmental purpose, including, but not limited to, public education.
