Section 45-37-123.101 Postretirement Joint Survivorship Pension
Status: in_force

(a) Election of postretirement joint survivorship pension. In lieu of a benefit under subsections (a) to (c), inclusive, of Section 45-37-123.100, superannuation retirement benefit, early retirement benefit, or deferred retirement benefit, respectively, a member may elect to receive a postretirement joint survivorship pension.

(1) PERCENTAGE ELECTION. In the event that a member desires to elect pursuant to this subsection to receive a postretirement joint survivorship pension, he or she shall elect one of the following percentages, which election shall be the actuarial equivalent of the monthly pension benefit provided in subsections (a) to (c), inclusive, of Section 45-37-123.100, as applicable:

a. Reduced monthly benefit payable over the life of the member and the life of the member’s designated beneficiary, 50 percent postretirement joint survivorship pension.

b. Reduced monthly benefit payable over the life of the member and the life of the member’s designated beneficiary, 66 and two-thirds percent postretirement joint survivorship pension.

c. Reduced monthly benefit payable over the life of the member and the life of the member’s designated beneficiary, 75 percent postretirement joint survivorship pension.

d. Reduced monthly benefit payable over the life of the member and the life of the member’s designated beneficiary, 100 percent postretirement joint survivorship pension.

(2) FORM OF POSTRETIREMENT JOINT SURVIVORSHIP PENSION. In addition to electing a percentage under subdivision (1), a member who desires to elect to receive a postretirement joint survivorship pension shall elect one of the following two forms:

a. Pop-up Form. Under the pop-up form, if the member’s designated beneficiary predeceases the retired member, then in the month following the designated beneficiary’s death, the member’s monthly pension benefit shall pop-up to the amount that would have been payable to the member under subsections (a) to (c), inclusive, of Section 45-37-123.100, as applicable, as if the member had never elected a postretirement joint survivorship pension; the cost of a pop-up form is more than the cost of the regular form described in paragraph b.

b. Regular Form. Under the regular form, if the member’s designated beneficiary predeceases the retired member, then the member shall continue to receive the same amount that he or she was receiving prior to the designated beneficiary’s death. The amount of the benefit payment shall not change.

(b) Timing of election. Except as provided in the immediately following sentence, in the event that a member desires to elect a postretirement joint survivorship pension, he or she shall do so in writing, on a form provided by the pension board, no later than the member’s last day of employment. In the event that a member previously elected a deferred retirement benefit and desires to elect a postretirement joint survivorship pension, he or she shall do so in writing, on a form provided by the pension board, no later than the day before the member’s sixtieth birthday.

(c) Timing of payments. Payment to the member commences on the day after the member terminates employment and shall continue to be paid each month thereafter until the member’s death. If the member’s designated beneficiary survives after the death of the member, the postretirement joint survivorship pension payments shall be made monthly to the designated beneficiary, beginning on the first day of the month following the member’s death, provided that the pension board is notified of the death in a timely manner and the designated beneficiary has completed all forms required by the pension board . Payments shall terminate with the first monthly payment preceding the second to die of the member and the designated beneficiary. In the event that a refund is to be paid pursuant to Section 45-37-123.104(4)c., the payment shall be made as soon as administratively feasible following the member’s/ designated beneficiary’s deaths.

(d) Cost of postretirement joint survivorship pension. To the extent that a member elects payment of a postretirement joint survivorship pension for his or her designated beneficiary, the benefit otherwise payable to the member shall be actuarially reduced to reflect the election of a postretirement joint survivorship pension.

(e) Changes in election. At any time before termination of employment, the member may cancel his or her election to have payment in such form by completing a form provided by the pension board. Except as otherwise stated herein, the member’s election of a postretirement joint survivorship pension shall be irrevocable once the member terminates employment.

(1) DEATH. a. Death of Member Prior to Actual Retirement. In the event that a member dies prior to his or her actual retirement, any postretirement joint survivorship pension election he or she made shall be deemed void.

b. Death of Designated Beneficiary Before Payments Commence. In the event that a member elects a postretirement joint survivorship pension and his or her designated beneficiary dies before payments commence, then upon the designated beneficiary’s death, the member’s election of the postretirement joint survivorship pension shall be automatically canceled, and the member’s right to receive payments in accordance with subsections (a) to (c), inclusive, of Section 45-37-123.100, as applicable, shall be reinstated.

c. Death of Both Member and Designated Beneficiary-Refund. Except as provided in the immediately following sentence, in the event that a payment begins to the member, no refund of employee contributions shall be paid thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, in the event that the member and his or her designated beneficiary die, a refund shall be made in accordance with Section 45-37-123.104(4)c.

(2) DIVORCE. In the event that a married member names his or her spouse as designated beneficiary, a subsequent divorce of the member and the designated beneficiary shall not cancel an election of a postretirement joint survivorship pension. However, in the event that a member or designated beneficiary presents to the pension board what the pension board believes to be a valid divorce decree, settlement agreement, or domestic relations order, collectively, a DRO, that provides for a waiver or forfeiture of the postretirement joint survivorship pension, then the waiver or forfeiture shall be recognized by the pension board, and, accordingly, the postretirement joint survivorship pension shall be deemed void, and the member’s monthly pension benefit shall thereafter pop-up to the amount that would have been payable to the member under subsections (a) to (c) of Section 45-37-123.100, as applicable, as if the member had never elected a postretirement joint survivorship pension. The pop-up shall occur in the month following the pension board’s receipt and approval of the DRO. The member shall not be allowed to elect another joint survivorship pension. See also Section 45-37-123.194(a) for additional rules relating to certain DROs.

(f) Designated beneficiary designation. Any beneficiary designation made by a member for a preretirement joint survivorship pension shall automatically lapse upon the member’s retirement or other termination of employment, and the member shall complete new forms, to be provided by the pension board, to designate a beneficiary of any postretirement joint survivorship pension, in accordance with this section .

(g) Proof of death and marriage. The pension board may require proper proof of death or marriage in accordance with Section 45-37-123.103(f).

Section 45-27-247.30 Levy and Collection of Tax
Status: in_force

(a)(1) There is hereby imposed upon every person, firm, or corporation who sells, stores, delivers, uses, or otherwise consumes tobacco in Escambia County a county privilege, license, or excise tax up to three cents ($0.03) for each package of cigarettes, 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, 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.

(b) Upon passage of this section there is levied on every person, firm, corporation, club, or association that sells or stores or receives for the purpose of distribution in Escambia County any cigarettes the amount of the additional license or privilege tax levied and assessed herein to the price of the cigarettes, it being 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 cigarettes, 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, on all price display signs, sales or delivery slips, bills, and statements which advertise or indicate the price of the cigarettes. It shall be unlawful for any dealer, storer, or distributor engaged in or continuing in Escambia 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 any of the provisions of 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) The tax hereby levied shall be paid on a monthly basis by affixing stamps as is required for the payment of the tax imposed by Section 40-25-1 through Section 40-25-28. The State Department of Revenue, if requested by resolution of the Escambia County Commission to collect the county privilege license or tax specified in subsection (a), for as long as the department is requested to collect the levy, shall have the same duties relative to the preparation and sale of stamps to evidence the payment of such tax that it has relative to the preparation and sale of stamps under those sections and may exercise the same powers and perform the same duties in the same manner relative to the collection of the tax hereby levied that it does relative to the collection of that 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 reporting system approved by the Department of Revenue shall be accepted as evidence of payment of such taxes.

(d) It shall be the duty of the County Commission of Escambia County to enforce this section upon its imposing the tax thereunder, and it shall have the right itself, or its members or its agents, to examine the books, reports, and accounts of every dealer, storer, or distributor engaged in the business for which the tax is hereby levied and to make any and all rules and regulations necessary and proper for the collection of such tax. Provided, however, upon resolution of the Escambia County Commission, the State Department of Revenue is hereby authorized and directed to collect all taxes now or hereafter levied by the county under this section. The State Department of Revenue 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 through Section 40-25-28, 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 into the County General Fund of Escambia County to be expended as follows:

(1) One-half cent to the county general fund.

(2) Two and one-half cent to all fire departments, volunteer and municipal and the Escambia County Rescue Squad and the Flomaton Fire Department and Rescue Squad on an equal basis. Each municipal fire department shall establish a separate fund apart from the municipal treasury into which the proceeds allocated to the department shall be deposited. The monies in these separate funds shall not be administered by the municipalities, shall be kept completely separate from the monies in the municipal operating budget, and shall be subject to audit by the Department of Examiners of Public Accounts. Monies in each of those funds shall be expended in the sole discretion of the respective municipal fire chief in any manner he or she deems necessary for the operation of and equipment for that fire department and for other fire department related purposes, except none shall be expended for salaries. A municipality shall not reduce its level of support for the fire department of the municipality because of funds available pursuant to this section. Volunteer fire departments shall expend their shares only as prescribed in their respective bylaws or articles of incorporation, except no proceeds distributed under this section shall be expended for salaries. Each fire department shall participate so long as such fire department is certified by the district forester of the Alabama Forestry Commission in Escambia County. Any fire department failing to meet certification standards shall be suspended from participation in the revenue until those standards are met and the fire department’s revenue shall be equally distributed among the fire departments meeting the certification standards.

(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 not be construed to apply to cigarettes stored by a wholesale dealer for the purpose of resale or reshipment outside of such counties which are actually resold or reshipped.

Ala. Code § 45-39A-50 — Alabama Code / Title 45 / Chapter 39A / Section 45-39A-50
Section 45-39A-50 Local Option Election Authorized for Sale and Distribution of Alcoholic Beverages
Status: in_force

(a)(1) The Legislature of Alabama is cognizant of Opinion of the Justices No. 376, 825 So. 2d 109 (Ala. 2002), which states on page 115 that a local bill for Cherokee County “purporting to allow by local law the creation of a traffic in alcohol that does not presently exist in smaller municipalities in Cherokee County, does not fit within the ambit of the last paragraph of Section 104 permitting the Legislature to pass local laws regulating or prohibiting such traffic.” The effect of this Opinion of the Justices is to greatly limit situations in which local laws may be enacted regarding alcoholic beverages. This opinion was, in part, based upon a determination that, “Generally, ‘regulate’ implies the exercise of control over something that already exists.” While respecting the constitutional authority granted to the Alabama Supreme Court to interpret the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, this body disagrees with the conclusion reached by the court concerning Section 104. In an effort to further define this issue and to assist the court in the appropriate interpretation of Section 104, the Legislature of Alabama respectfully makes the following findings:

a. As used in Section 104, the term “regulate” was not intended to be of a narrowing or restraining nature. If that was the intent of the framers of the constitution, an appropriate verb such as “limit,” “restrict,” or “suppress,” in conjunction with the phrase “existing laws,” would have been employed.

b. With all due respect to the court, the word “regulate” does not generally imply “the exercise of control over something that already exists” and such a construction is not the “general sense of the phrase.” To the contrary, one of the initial definitions of regulate in Black’s Law Dictionary is “to fix, establish, or control”; and “establish” in the same dictionary includes the definition “to found, to create, to regulate.” Unquestionably, regulate does not imply application only to something in existence; rather, the term includes the “establishment” or “creation” of the thing to be subsequently managed.

c. The interpretation of the term “regulation” adopted by the court, if applied to other federal and state constitutional and statutory provisions, will result in unreasonable and unintended restrictions. For instance, the language in Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution, “The congress shall have power ... to regulate commerce ...” was not intended to only apply to types of commerce in existence at the time the United States Constitution was adopted. In fact, the U.S. Supreme Court has stated that this clause should be broadly construed to meet the overexpanding and increasingly complicated conditions of commerce. Similarly, numerous state statutes are initially adopted to regulate certain types of professional or vocational activities or functions, and these activities or functions are concurrently initially authorized. Under the court’s construction, if such activities or functions are not first in existence, they may not subsequently be controlled.

d. In view of the research of the court indicating the absence of any discussion concerning this issue in the debates of the 1901 Constitutional Convention, and the absence of any reference to historical records of that time, the interpretation of Section 104 by modern era historians should only be given marginal consideration. As stated by the court, such historical perspectives merely give the “appearance” of intent, and, accordingly, are not supportive of specific construction of Section 104.

e. The concluding paragraph of Section 104 is a unique provision providing for a form of local option or home rule. In view of the present sentiments of Alabama citizens to allow local control of public matters, it is essential that this body and the judiciary appropriately interpret this provision.

(2) Based upon the reasons expressed in subdivision (1), as a matter of law, the Legislature declares that this section regulates the liquor traffic within the meaning and intent of Section 104 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, including, but not limited to, Chapter 2A of Title 28, and pursuant to authority granted by Section 104 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, the electors of the municipality of St. Florian located in Lauderdale County may change its classification from dry to wet or wet to dry by a municipal option election as provided by Act 2003-360.
