Status: in_force

(a)(1) Upon adoption of a resolution by the Clarke County Commission, the county commission may impose on every person, firm, or corporation that sells, stores, delivers, uses, or otherwise consumes tobacco or tobacco products in Clarke County, a county privilege, license, or excise tax in the following amounts:

a. Five cents ($0.05) for each package of cigarettes made of tobacco or any substitute therefor.

b. Five cents ($0.05) for each package of cigars made of tobacco or any substitute therefor, including the cigarette-sized or near cigarette-sized cigars, but excluding single wrapped cigars.

d. Five cents ($0.05) for each sack, plug, package, or other container of chewing tobacco, which tobacco is prepared in such manner suitable for chewing only and not suitable for smoking as described in paragraph c.

e. Five cents ($0.05) for each can, bottle, glass, tumbler, package, or other container of snuff made of tobacco or any substitute therefor.

(2) The privilege, license, or excise tax shall be in addition to all other taxes imposed by law and shall be collected in the same manner as other taxes on tobacco, except that when the license tax required by this section has been paid by a wholesaler or seller of the products, that payment shall be sufficient. The legislative intent is that the tax shall be paid only once on each package of cigarettes, chewing tobacco, snuff, cigars of every description, and smoking tobacco of every description, and for each package of tobacco paper, whether gummed or ungummed.

(b) Every person, firm, corporation, club, or association that sells, stores, or receives, for the purpose of selling or storing in Clarke County, any cigarettes, cigars, snuff, and smoking tobacco products shall add the amount of the license or privilege tax levied and assessed to the price of the cigarettes, cigars, snuff, and smoking tobacco products. It is the purpose and intent of this subsection that the tax levied is, in fact, a levy on the consumer with the person, firm, corporation, club, or association, that sells or stores or receives for the purpose of distributing the cigarettes, cigars, snuff, and smoking tobacco products, acting merely as an 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, and smoking tobacco products, on all price display signs, sales or delivery slips, bills, and statements which advertise or indicate the price of the cigarettes, cigars, snuff, and smoking tobacco products.

(c)(1) It shall be unlawful for any dealer, storer, or distributor engaged in or continuing in the business in Clarke County for which the tax is 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, to refund or offer to refund all or any part of the amount collected or 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 subject to a civil penalty of not less than twenty-five dollars ($25) nor more than five hundred dollars ($500). Each act in violation of this subsection shall constitute a separate offense.

(2) The State Department of Revenue or, as otherwise provided by resolution of the county commission, the Clarke County Tax Collector shall collect all taxes levied pursuant to this section at the same time and in the same manner as state tobacco taxes are collected.

(3) The tax levied herein shall be paid by affixing stamps that are required for the payment of the tax imposed by Sections 40-25-1 to 40-25-28, inclusive.

(4) The department shall have the same duties relative to the preparation and sale of stamps to evidence the payment of the tax that it has relative to the preparation and sale of stamps under Sections 40-25-1 to 40-25-28, inclusive. The department may exercise the same powers and perform the same duties in the same manner relative to the collection of the tax levied herein that it does relative to the collection of the state tax.

(5) In accordance with Section 40-25-2(q), in the event the aforementioned tobacco stamps are not available for affixing to tobacco product packages and containers, or by the authority of a duly promulgated regulation eliminating the requirement of affixing county tobacco stamps, the Commissioner of the Department of Revenue may require a monthly report in lieu of stamps to report the amount of tax due. The monthly report shall be in a form approved by the commissioner and adopted by the department under the Alabama Administrative Procedure Act, Chapter 22, Title 41.

(6) The department may promulgate and enforce rules and regulations to effectuate the purposes of this section. All rules and regulations duly promulgated shall have the same force and effect of law.

(d) All laws, rules, and regulations of the department relating to the manner and time of payment of the tax levied by Sections 40-25-1 to 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 provided for in this section.

(e) The proceeds from the tax authorized, less the amount or percentage of the actual cost of collection as may be agreed upon by the Commissioner of the Department of Revenue and the Clarke County Commission, shall be distributed to the Public Park and Recreation Board of Clarke County.

(f) This section shall not 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 of the county which are actually resold or reshipped.

Status: in_force

(a) Whenever the council of the City of Oxford shall pass a resolution to the effect that the public health or public good requires that certain territory (described in the resolution) shall be brought within the limits of the City of Oxford: (1) It shall be the duty of the mayor to certify a copy of such resolution to the Judge of Probate of Calhoun County and the certified resolution shall have attached thereto a plat or map of the territory proposed to be annexed, which certified resolution and plat or map shall be filed by the judge of probate. (2) Within 10 days from the date of the filing of such resolution, the judge of probate must make and enter an order upon the minutes of the court, directing and ordering an election to be held by the qualified electors residing within the territory described, not less than 20 days nor more than 40 days from the date of the making of the order. The judge shall give notice of the holding of such election by publication in a newspaper of general circulation within the City of Oxford, and if there is no newspaper of general circulation within the City of Oxford, then by posting notices at three public places in such municipality, which notice shall state the day on which such election is to be held, the voting place or places, the boundaries within which voters must reside to vote at the respective voting places, which must be within the territory proposed to be brought into the City of Oxford, and such notice must give a description of the territory proposed to be annexed, and must state that a map of such territory is on file in the office of the Judge of Probate of Calhoun County, open to the inspection of the public. (3) The judge of probate may designate as many places within the territory proposed to be annexed as he or she may deem necessary for the convenience of the voters and must designate the boundaries within which the voters must reside to vote at the respective voting places, and shall appoint three inspectors of election, two clerks, and one returning officer for each voting place, which inspectors shall manage the election at the respective voting places at which they are appointed as inspectors. (4) Each qualified elector who has resided within the boundaries of the territory proposed to be brought into the City of Oxford for three months next preceding the election, may vote at such election, but must vote at the voting place designated by the judge of probate for voters in the territory in which he or she resides. (5) The election to determine whether or not the proposed territory shall be brought within such corporate limits must be conducted in all respects as provided by the general election laws, and under the same sanction and penalties, except as changed by the provisions hereof. (6) The inspectors at the respective voting places must, as soon as the polls are closed, ascertain and certify the results of the election, at their respective voting places, to the judge of probate, and deliver the same to the returning officer, who must at once return the same to the judge of probate, and the judge of probate must canvass the return as made by the inspectors, and if it appears that a majority of the votes cast at the election were “for annexation,” the judge shall make and enter an order on the records of the probate court adjudging and decreeing the corporate limits of the City of Oxford to be extended so as to embrace the territory described in the resolution and designated on the plat or map attached to the resolution, and must cause the certified resolution and the map and all orders or decrees or judgments to be recorded in the records of his or her office, and from the time of the entry of such order such territory shall be a part of and within the corporate limits of the City of Oxford. If it appears that a majority of the votes cast at the election are “against annexation” the judge of probate shall make and enter an order on the records of the court adjudging and decreeing that a majority of the votes at such election were cast against coming into the corporate limits of the City of Oxford and that the territory described and designated in the resolution and plat or map attached shall not form a part of or be embraced in the City of Oxford until it may thereafter be brought into the city as a part thereof. (7) The result of such election may be contested by any qualified elector voting at the election under the same provisions as are provided for contest of general municipal elections, making the City of Oxford the contestee. The City of Oxford shall pay all costs and expense incident to the election. (8) The plat or map filed with the certified copy of the resolution, as required herein, shall show accurately the territory proposed to be embraced within the corporate limits, including all subdivisions into lots, blocks, streets, and alleys within such territory, if any, and an accurate description by metes and bounds of the boundary of such territory, which territory must be contiguous to the boundary of and form a homogeneous part of the City of Oxford, but is not to embrace any territory within the corporate limits of another municipality. Proof of residence and qualification as electors of petitioners and of persons affected shall be made to the judge of probate, by affidavit or otherwise, as he or she may direct. When determining the ownership of the land within such boundary, the persons, firms, or corporations assessing the same for taxation shall be accepted by the judge of probate as prima facie the owners thereof. All territory brought within the corporate limits of the City of Oxford under the provisions of this section shall be subject to its laws and ordinances and the council shall have and exercise the same jurisdiction over such territory as is exercised over the other territory within the corporate limits of the City of Oxford. The council may create new wards or may enlarge the wards so as to embrace all the territory brought within the corporate limits of the City of Oxford so as to afford opportunity to all persons entitled to vote at elections in the City of Oxford to vote thereat. The judge of probate shall be entitled to the same fees for his or her services performed under the provisions hereof as he or she is authorized by law to charge and collect for similar services rendered by him or her, and all other officers shall be entitled to the same compensation for services rendered by them as they are authorized by law to charge and collect for similar services rendered by them, and the City of Oxford shall pay all cost and expense thereof except in the case of a contest as herein provided.

(b) Notwithstanding the fact that the City of Oxford may have extended its corporate limits under the provisions of this section, or any other law, it may again extend its corporate limits hereunder, or under any other law authorizing the extension of such corporate limits; provided however, that after an election has been held in any territory under the provisions of this section, or any other law, no other or subsequent election shall be ordered or held within the same territory, or any part thereof, within 12 months next after the election.

(c) In every proceeding to extend the corporate limits of the City of Oxford, under the provisions of this section, the Council of the City of Oxford, shall declare in each and every resolution herein provided for, and the judge of probate shall declare in each and every order directing and ordering an election to be held hereunder, and in every order made and entered on the records of the probate court hereunder, that such resolution, order, or notice, as the case may be, is passed, given, or entered under the provisions of this section.

(d) All property and territory brought within the corporate limits of the City of Oxford under the provisions of this section shall be liable for payment of taxes to the City of Oxford, from and after the commencement of the city tax year, commencing next after the judge of probate shall make and enter an order on the records of the probate court, adjudging and decreeing the corporate limits of the City of Oxford to be extended so as to embrace such property or territory.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1 of Article VI of Act 1272, 1973 Regular Session (Act 1973, p. 2124), as amended, or otherwise stated herein, in effect as of the date of the participant’s retirement, any participant making the back drop election shall have his or her retirement benefits determined under Section 1, Article VI, Act 1272 or Section 45-37A-51.220 herein, as amended, as if retirement had occurred on the beginning date of the back drop period, so that for the purposes of calculating the retirement benefits, service during the back drop period shall not count as credited service and salary earned during the back drop period shall not be included in the calculation of final average salary and contribution made to the plan during the back drop period shall not otherwise be returned to the participant.

(c) Any participant who elects the back drop plan shall receive not less than 30 days or more than 90 days after his or her retirement, a lump-sum distribution equal to the monthly benefits that would have been paid during the back drop period if the participant’s retirement had occurred on the beginning date of the back drop period, calculated as provided in subsection (b) above, together with interest thereon at a percentage rate as the board may determine, annually, compounded monthly from the date on which each monthly benefit would have been paid; provided that no interest shall be paid unless the actuary retained by the board determined that sufficient funds are available to pay the interest on a cost-neutral basis.

(d) If any participant who elects the back drop plan dies before the lump-sum distribution referred to in subsection (c) is paid, the back drop election shall be null and void, unless otherwise authorized in writing by the retiree prior to retirement, and the benefits to which the participant and his or her surviving spouse, if any, are entitled shall be calculated as if the back drop election had never been made. The survivor may have the option of either receiving the lump-sum distribution and receiving a reduced monthly survivor’s benefit or electing to receive the retirement benefit due if no lump-sum distribution were paid. If the survivor receives a lump sum distribution as authorized by the retiree herein due to death of the retiree, the survivor benefit shall be reduced based on the recalculated final average salary.

(e) If any participant was receiving retirement benefits under a back drop election made in accordance with this section, then notwithstanding any provision of Section 45-37A-51.228, or otherwise herein, the benefits to which the participant’s surviving spouse is entitled shall be calculated on the basis of the retirement benefit which the participant was receiving as a result of the back drop election.

(f) The board shall have the authority to terminate the back drop plan created in this section prospectively at any time if it is determined that contributions to the system are not sufficient to pay the costs of the back drop plan; provided that no termination shall affect the rights of any participant, or the surviving spouse of a participant, who has properly made his or her back drop election as required herein, and the election shall have been approved by the board, but has not yet begun receiving benefits to which he or she would be entitled as a result of the election.

(g) The board is authorized, with approval of the governing body of the municipality primarily served by the system, to make any and all rules and regulations necessary to implement and administer the back drop plan which are not inconsistent with this section or applicable law.

(h) Purchased past service credit with the city or purchased service credit from the county, other municipality, or temporary service with the city may not be used to increase service in excess of 30 years in order to qualify for a DROP benefit under this section.

(i) Any purchased past service credit or purchased service credit shall have been applied and paid for into the system more than 10 years preceding the application for a DROP benefit for the purchased years of credited service to be included in determining the DROP benefit to which the participant may be allowed.

(j) A retiree, who has previously retired from the city and has not received a DROP benefit from the city and is rehired by the city, may qualify for a DROP benefit provided, upon rehire the employee shall work at least 36 consecutive months to be eligible for a DROP benefit.
