Status: reserved

(a) In order to provide funds for the benefit of public schools in Dale County, there is hereby levied in each separate school district in Dale County, and shall be assessed and collected in each separate school district, a sales and use tax generally paralleling the sales and use tax of the State of Alabama, which sales and use tax shall be in addition to any and all other county taxes heretofore or hereafter authorized by law in Dale County for school purposes. The sales and use tax so levied in each school district in Dale County shall be subject to all the exemptions and exclusions contained in the state sales and use tax, except that the rate thereof shall be one-fourth the rate of the state sales and use tax.

(b) A tax shall be levied in each separate school district in Dale County but there may be excluded from the levy and collection of any tax, in whole or in part, in the discretion of its governing body, any sales or use which shall take place in any incorporated municipality in Dale County in which the general administration and supervision of public schools shall be vested in a city board of education. The governing body of any incorporated municipality may provide that the sales and use tax shall not be levied in the municipality by ordinance of the municipality placed on file with the Department of Revenue of the State of Alabama; but any such ordinance may be repealed or amended to provide that the sales and use tax shall again be levied, as a whole or in part, in any municipality.

(c) All the proceeds from any tax levied pursuant to this section, less the costs of collection thereof, shall be paid to the board of education that is charged with the administration of public schools in the school district in Dale County in which any sale or use that is subject to the tax herein levied shall take place.

(d) It is the intention of the Legislature that the sales and use tax herein levied shall be deemed a tax to be collected in each of the separate school districts in Dale County, and not in Dale County as a whole. The tax herein levied shall therefore be deemed a district tax as that term is used in Amendment No. 3 to the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, and not a county tax, as that term is also used in Amendment No. 3.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, there shall not be levied hereunder any tax measured by gross receipts, except a sales or use tax which generally parallels, except for the rate of tax, that imposed by the state under applicable law.

Any employee desiring to protest any disciplinary action directed against him or her by his or her appointing authority shall file a protest in writing with the board and with his or her appointing authority within not less than seven days and not more than 30 days of the date on which the disciplinary action was taken and request a hearing before the board. Within 14 days after receipt of the protest, his or her appointing authority shall file with the chair of the board and mail to the employee by certified mail a statement specifying the charges against such employee on which the disciplinary action was based. Upon the filing of such charges, the chair shall call a meeting of the board to be held within 30 days after the filing of such charges to hear such protest, and shall forthwith give notice to the employee and his or her appointing authority of the time and place of such meeting. The board shall have the authority to continue the hearing from time to time as may be necessary.

The fees and allowances in connection with the service of such subpoena issued at the request of the appointing authority or the board shall constitute reasonable and necessary expenses of the board. Such subpoena issued at the request of the employee shall be served as aforesaid but only after such employee has deposited sufficient security with such sheriff or other officer as will guarantee payment of such fees and allowances for such service. In the event any person is duly summoned to appear and testify or produce evidence, or both, before the board, and such person refuses to attend or testify or produce such evidence, or any of them, in obedience to such summons, the board shall have the right to invoke the aid of the circuit court at law. In such event, and upon proper showing by the board to the court, the court shall issue, or cause to be issued, an order or subpoena requiring such person to appear before the board and produce all evidence and give all testimony relating to the issue within his or her knowledge. Any person failing to obey any such summons by either of the officers of the board without good cause, to be determined by the court, may be punished by the court in the same method as is provided by law for contempt of the court and any person failing to obey such order or subpoena of the court, may be proceeded against by the court as is by law provided in the case of contempt of such court. In addition, any employee of Houston County who fails to obey any of such orders or subpoenas may be disciplined as provided in Section 45-35-120.16.

(c) At the hearing the employee and his or her appointing authority shall each have the right to be represented by counsel. Such hearing shall be governed by rules of practice and procedure adopted by the board, and in conducting such hearing, the board shall not be bound by the technical rules of evidence. No informality of procedure in the conduct of such hearing shall invalidate any decision made by the board. At the conclusion of the hearing, the board shall render a decision (1) affirming the disciplinary action taken if it is reasonably satisfied from the evidence offered at the hearing that the disciplinary action taken was lawful or was not too severe; or (2) reversing the action of the appointing authority if it is reasonably satisfied from such evidence that the disciplinary action taken was not lawful; or (3) modifying the disciplinary action taken and prescribing the proper penalty if it is reasonably satisfied from such evidence that the employee was subject to some disciplinary action, but that the penalty imposed was too severe. If the board’s decision reduces the severity of the disciplinary action taken against the employee, the board, in its decision, may provide that the employee shall be reinstated with or without pay. A copy of the board’s decision shall be filed with the clerk of the personnel board and such decision shall become effective immediately upon such filing, and it shall become final seven days thereafter unless reversed or modified by the personnel board. The personnel board may be represented by its attorney, or an attorney designated by the personnel board, and the attorney may perform such duties as the board may direct and require. Any compensation paid the attorney shall be paid as provided in Section 45-35-120.21.

For the purposes of the establishment of districts after June 1, 2010, a district shall correspond to a voting precinct or precincts in the county unless the county governing body determines that the use of voting precinct boundaries is not feasible. A party or parties seeking to file a petition shall notify the county governing body in writing that the parties will petition for the formation of a district and the proposed boundaries of the district. The judge of probate within 15 days shall give a preliminary estimate of the number of signatures needed to call the election. The county governing body shall notify the principal party in writing within 30 days of written notification by petitioners of intent to request a referendum, by United States mail, return receipt requested, that the proposed district is acceptable for planning, zoning, and voting purposes and shall furnish forms to the petitioner for use in seeking the number of signatures required to call an election. The parties shall have 120 days thereafter to obtain the necessary signatures and file the petition. The County Commission and the Judge of Probate of Baldwin County shall certify or reject the accuracy of the petition no later than 45 days after receiving the petition. If the number of signatures is not sufficient, the parties shall have another 60 days to complete the petition and have it certified. If the petition is not certified, a petition for the proposed district may not be refiled for two year after the final denial of certification. Upon certification, the county commission shall then instruct the Judge of Probate of Baldwin County to provide for an election within that district no later than 90 days after the certification. Notice of the election shall be published four times during the 30-day period immediately preceding the date of the election in a newspaper of general circulation in Baldwin County. In addition, the county commission shall notify by U.S. mail each elector in a district of the election and the process to obtain additional information. The notification shall state the date of the election and the polling place or places for voting. The judge of probate shall conduct the election. All costs for the notification and election shall be paid from the General Fund of Baldwin County. If a majority of the qualified electors in a district vote in the negative in the election, then the district shall not be subject to the zoning and planning jurisdiction of the Baldwin County Commission, and the qualified electors of the district shall not be eligible to petition for another election until two years from the date of the last election. If a majority of the qualified electors in a district vote in the affirmative, then the district shall be subject to the zoning and planning jurisdiction of the Baldwin County Commission.

Provided that where all the sales of a company are single sales of peanut products, milk products, coffee, and confections sold in dispensing machines located in industrial plants or on private property for employees where such machines dispense exclusively articles not to exceed ten cents ($.10) per sale, and the person operating such machines shall be engaged in the business of selling exclusively articles not to exceed ten cents ($.10) per sale and shall file with the State Department of Revenue a sworn statement to that effect and shall keep and maintain records satisfactory to the State Department of Revenue, the gross receipts tax herein provided for shall not be levied.

In the case of a used car brought into the state from a state which provides that upon sale or transfer of the motor vehicle the tags are either surrendered to an appropriate authority or subsequently reissued by the seller, the tax collector shall be furnished a bona fide certificate of title properly assigned which shows when the car was sold to an individual, firm, corporation, or association, living or operating in this state.

(g) The tax collector may, at his or her discretion, mail a notice or an application for renewal of licenses to whom such license has been previously issued. Such notice or renewal forms may be in postcard form and with sufficient information thereon to adequately identify and process such renewal. In the event of a mail order system, the signature of the licensee thereon and proper remittance shall constitute sufficient authority for the tax collector to issue such license and return to the licensee by mail.
