HB434 Alabama 2013 Session

This bill would allow the Monroe County Commission to call for a local referendum to authorize the Monroe County Commission to levy an excise tax on gasoline or motor fuel not to exceed five cents ($.05) per gallon for specific road and bridge projects identified by the county prior to the referendum. The resolution calling for a referendum would specify the amount of the levy and the duration of the levy which would not exceed five years. Subsequent local referendums on additional levies would be authorized under the same procedures as the original referendum
