(2) Upon entering service as a uniformed officer he or she successfully passed a board-approved physical examination, whether or not such examination was required to enter service as a uniformed officer, which failed to reveal any evidence of a condition which could cause his or her disability.

(d) Disputes. Any dispute as to whether a job or service is within the member’s merit system classification shall be determined solely by the Mobile County Personnel Board in accordance with its rules and regulations governing such matters.

(e) Presumption. If a member is disabled within the meaning of subsection due to hypertension, heart disease, respiratory disease, AIDS, hepatitis, or cancer, his or her disability shall be deemed to have occurred while performing his or her duties as a uniformed officer if:

(1) He or she has completed three years of service as a uniformed officer;

(2) The AIDS, hepatitis, or cancer manifests itself no later than the end of the tenth year following the member’s retirement from service, regardless of the member’s annuity starting date; and

(g) Commencement. A member eligible to receive a disability benefit under this subpart shall begin to receive the benefit on the first day following the date the board approves his or her application for a disability benefit and he or she shall continue to receive the benefit only until the earlier of the date he or she ceases to be disabled as provided in subsection (h) or his or her death. If a member receiving a disability benefit under this section is found to be no longer disabled, he or she shall be entitled to receive a benefit under Section 45-49A-63.60 if he or she met the requirements for such a benefit prior to the date he or she first became disabled.

Members shall submit annually, and at such other times as ordered by the board, such statements or other evidence of his or her disability as may be required by the board, including the results of an examination by physicians or other health professionals selected by the board.

If the board has reasonable cause to believe that a member receiving a disability benefit is no longer disabled, the board, upon notice, shall conduct a hearing to determine the member’s continued eligibility for the benefit and to ascertain whether the member has received any payments for which the member was ineligible. If the board finds that the member is no longer disabled, the board shall discontinue the member’s benefit payments. The board may also file suit in the circuit court to recover any payments made to any member who has been found to be ineligible to receive those payments. If the board is the prevailing party in the action, the board may also recover reasonable attorney’s fees for bringing the suit.

(c)(1) After considering the actuary’s opinion and any other information the governing body of the city deems pertinent, the governing body shall determine whether the fund, with the Section 45-37A-51.05 payments being made thereto, is adequate to pay all obligations of the system. If the governing body determines that the fund with the Section 45-37A-51.05 payments being made thereto is inadequate to pay all obligations of the system, the governing body will determine the minimum monthly supplemental payment which would result in the fund, with the Section 45-37A-51.05 payments and the supplemental payments being made thereto, becoming adequate to pay all obligations of the fund. Upon making such determination, the governing body shall adopt a resolution providing that beginning in the next calendar month subsequent to the adoption of such resolution the city shall pay monthly to the fund a supplemental payment in the amount which the governing body determines would result in the fund becoming adequate to meet all obligations of the system. One-half of the supplemental payment the governing body determines would be sufficient to render the fund adequate, as aforesaid shall consist of salary deductions and the other half thereof shall consist of city matching payments. The city will pay such salary deductions and the city’s matching payments comprising the supplemental payment to the fund at the same time the city pays to the fund the Section 45-37A-51.05 payments.

(2) The city governing body shall be authorized to decrease or discontinue the supplemental payments at any time the city governing body determines, after considering actuarial advice, that the supplemental payments can be reduced or discontinued without impairing the ability of the fund to pay all obligations of the system. The governing body may effect such reduction or discontinuance of the supplemental payments by adopting a resolution providing for such discontinuance or reduction.

(d) This subsection shall not apply if before May 28, 1980, the governing body of the city and the board of managers shall have taken all actions which subsection (b) and subsection (c) required the governing body and the board to take. If, before May 28, 1980, the governing body or the board has failed to perform any act which either subsection (b) or subsection (c) required the governing body or the board to perform, then as soon as practicable after May 28, 1980, the governing body of the city or the board, as the case may be, shall perform all acts which either subsection (b) or subsection (c) required the governing body or board to perform and which the governing body or board failed to perform before May 28, 1980.

SECTION 4 OF ACT 2019-215 WAS AMENDED BY ACT 2020-119 IN THE 2020 REGULAR SESSION, EFFECTIVE MAY 18, 2020. THIS IS NOT IN THE CURRENT CODE SUPPLEMENT.

(a) This section shall be known and cited as the Jackson County Preservation of Justice Act.

(b) The Legislature hereby finds and declares the following:

(1) The financial restraints existing in the State General Fund budget have resulted in a shortfall to the Unified Judicial System that has caused the layoff of many judicial employees. In Jackson County, three employees in the circuit clerk’s office who were scheduled for layoff have been temporarily retained with alternate funding other than funds appropriated to the Unified Judicial System; however, this alternate funding cannot be relied upon in the future. Revenue from this section will restore funding for some judicial employees in the circuit.

(2) This section addresses this problem by increasing court costs.

(c) In addition to any court costs and fees authorized by law, additional court costs shall be assessed in certain Jackson County Circuit Court and District Court cases as follows:

(1) In the circuit court:

a. In civil cases, except for domestic relation cases, one hundred dollars ($100).

b. In domestic relations cases, seventy-five dollars ($75).

c. In criminal cases, including cases appealed from the district and municipal courts, twenty dollars ($20).

(2) In District Court:

a. In civil cases, excluding unlawful detainer, small claims, and child support cases, twenty dollars ($20).

b. In criminal cases, including DUI cases, but excluding other traffic cases and negotiating worthless negotiable instrument cases, twenty dollars ($20).

(d) The Circuit Clerk of Jackson County shall collect the additional court costs assessed as provided in subsection (c) in the same manner as other court costs are collected and deposit the proceeds monthly in the Jackson County Judicial Employees Fund, which shall be established and administered by the circuit court clerk. The presiding circuit judge shall direct the expenditures from the fund solely to provide staffing for the office of the circuit clerk and the courts of Jackson County as the presiding circuit judge and circuit clerk jointly determine is necessary for the offices of the judges and clerk in Jackson County for the administration of the judicial system in a timely and efficient manner.

(e) The presiding circuit judge of Jackson County may enter into a memorandum of understanding with the Administrative Office of Courts for the payment of all or a portion of the funds from the Jackson County Judicial Employees Fund to the Administrative Office of Courts for the purpose of providing the staffing needs of the judicial system of Jackson County. If the Administrative Office of Courts fails or refuses to enter into or withdraws from a memorandum of understanding to receive funds from the Judicial Employees Fund, or if the presiding circuit judge determines that staffing needs should be otherwise provided, then all or a portion of the proceeds of the fund may be expended for the staffing needs as deemed appropriate by the circuit clerk and presiding circuit judge.

(f) In the event that the Administrative Office of Courts funds staffing positions in the judicial system of Jackson County in a manner that the presiding circuit judge determines to be adequate for the timely and efficient administration of the system, the presiding circuit judge shall certify that determination to the Jackson County Legislative Delegation. In the event the presiding circuit judge makes that certification, the court costs authorized by this section shall no longer be collected effective on the first day of the month immediately following the certification.

(a)(1) There is hereby imposed upon every person, firm, or corporation who sells, stores, delivers, uses, or otherwise consumes tobacco or certain tobacco products in Jackson County, a county privilege, license, or excise tax up to the following amounts:

a. Five cents ($.05) for each package of cigarettes, made of tobacco or any substitute therefor.

b. Fifteen cents ($.15) for each package of tobacco paper, both gummed and ungummed.

c. Five cents ($.05) for each package of smoking tobacco, chewing tobacco, little cigars, snuff, and other like packaged tobacco products.

d. One cent ($.01) for each cigar of any description made of tobacco or any substitute therefor.

(2) The privilege, license, or excise tax shall be in addition to all other taxes heretofore imposed by law.

(3) Provided, however, when the license tax hereby required to be paid shall have been paid by a wholesaler or seller of cigarettes, cigars, snuff, smoking tobacco, and like tobacco products, such payment shall be sufficient, the intent being that such license tax hereby required to be paid shall be paid but once on each package of cigarettes and on each cigar.

(4) The State Department of Revenue is hereby authorized to adopt, promulgate, and enforce reasonable rules and regulations for the administration and enforcement of the taxes levied by this section and Chapter 25 of Title 40 not in conflict with this section.

It is the purpose and intent of this provision that the tax levied is, in fact, a levy on the consumer with the person, firm, corporation, club, or association, who sells or stores or receives for the purpose of distributing the products, acting merely as agent for the collection of the tax. The dealer, storer, or distributor shall state the amount of the tax separately from the price of the cigarettes, cigars, snuff, smoking tobacco, and the tobacco products, on all price display signs, sales or delivery slips, bills, and statements which advertise or indicate the price of the above products. It shall be unlawful for any dealer, storer, or distributor engaged in or continuing in Jackson County in the business for which the tax is hereby levied to fail or refuse to add to the sales price and collect from the purchaser the amount due on account of the tax herein provided or to refund or offer to refund all or any part of the amount collected or to absorb or advertise directly or indirectly the absorption of the tax or any portion thereof. Any person, firm, corporation, club, or association violating this subsection shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction, shall be fined not more than one hundred dollars ($100), or imprisoned in the county jail for not more than 60 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment. Each act in violation of this subsection shall constitute a separate offense.

(c) It shall be the duty of the County Commission of Jackson County to enforce this section, and it shall have the right to examine the books, reports, and accounts of every dealer, storer, or distributor engaged in the business for which the tax is hereby levied. The county commission shall make any and all rules and regulations necessary and proper for the collection of such tax. Provided, however, upon resolution of the Jackson County Commission, the State Department of Revenue is hereby authorized and directed to collect all taxes now or hereafter levied by the county levied under this section. Provided that the resolution shall be submitted, received, and accepted by the State Department of Revenue at least two months prior to the effective date of the collection and administration of such tax by the Department of Revenue as set by the Jackson County Commission. The tax hereby levied shall be paid by affixing stamps as is required for the payment of the tax imposed by Section 40–25–1 to Section 40–25–28, inclusive. The State Department of Revenue, if requested by resolution of the Jackson County Commission to collect all county privilege, license, or excise taxes provided herein, shall have the same duties relative to the preparation and sale of stamps to evidence the payment of such tax that it has under the above sections and may exercise the same powers and perform the same duties in the same manner that it does relative to the collection of state tax. However, in the event the required stamps are not available for affixing to tobacco products, packages, and containers or, by the authority of a duly promulgated regulation eliminating the requirement of affixing stamps and replacing such requirement, a monthly report system approved by the Department of Revenue shall be accepted as evidence of payment of such taxes.

(d) The State Department of Revenue, if requested by resolution of the Jackson County Commission to collect all county privilege, license, or excise taxes specified in subsection (a), is hereby authorized to promulgate and enforce rules and regulations to effectuate the purposes of this section. All such rules and regulations duly promulgated shall have the force and effect of law.

(e) All laws, and rules and regulations of the Department of Revenue, relating to the manner and time of payment of the tax levied by Section 40–25–1 to Section 40–25–28, inclusive, requiring reports from dealers and prescribing penalties for violations shall apply with equal force to the tax levied by this section as fully as if set out herein.

(f) The proceeds from the tax hereby levied, less the actual costs of collection not to exceed 10 per centum, shall be paid by the State Department of Revenue to the Jackson County Commission to be deposited to the credit of the Jackson County Water Authority.

(g)(1) None of the provisions of this section shall be applied in such manner as to be in violation of the commerce or other clauses of the federal or state constitution.

(2) This section shall be construed to apply to cigarettes, cigars, snuff, smoking tobacco, and like tobacco products stored by a wholesale dealer for the purpose of resale or reshipment outside the county which are actually resold or reshipped.
