  The state of Tennessee or any county or municipality within the solid waste region is authorized, whenever the same shall be found desirable by its governing body, to enter into contracts, agreements or other arrangements with the authority regarding any project, facility or service of the authority, including, without limitation, the collection, transfer, storage, transportation, processing or disposal of solid waste or the purchase, sale, lease or other disposition of energy, energy producing materials and other materials, commodities or properties of the authority. Any such contract or agreement may extend for any period not exceeding forty (40) years from the date thereof.   Any payments to be made to the authority pursuant to an agreement may be payable from general funds, to the extent permitted by law, or from such limited source as may be agreed upon between the authority and such entity, and in the case of payments to be made from general funds, the governing body of any municipality having the taxing power may provide for the levy and collection of a direct, annual tax sufficient to make such payments to the authority when the same become due. Such tax shall be assessed, levied, collected and paid in like manner as other taxes of such municipality and shall be in addition to all other taxes now or hereafter authorized to be levied by such municipality. Such tax shall not be included within any statutory or other limitation as to rate or amount for such municipality, but shall be excluded therefrom and be in addition thereto and in excess thereof.   The governing body of any municipality not having the taxing power shall, upon entering into an agreement with the authority, make adequate provision for the timely payment of all amounts to be paid to the authority.   No payments shall be construed to be an indebtedness of a municipality within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provision.

  Any county or municipality with respect to which the authority was organized has all necessary powers in order to further the purposes of this part, including, without limitation, the power to:  Provide that any funds available to it for solid waste or resource recovery purposes shall be paid directly to the authority; and   Sell, lease, dedicate, donate or otherwise convey to the authority any of its interest in any existing solid waste disposal or resource recovery facility or other related property, or grant easements, licenses or other rights or privileges therein to the authority.     The governing body of each county or municipality participating in the organization of the authority may appropriate general funds or unappropriated moneys from any other fund, to pay expenses of the authority or provide for the operation of any of the projects, facilities and systems authorized by this part, and each such governing body may levy a tax, in addition to all other taxes, upon all taxable property within the respective county or municipality, sufficient to pay such appropriation to the authority. Any such tax on property shall be collected in the same manner as other property taxes of the county or municipality are collected and, similarly, all laws for the enforcement of county and municipal tax liens shall apply.   Any person who willfully violates any of the ordinances or resolutions passed by any of the municipalities or any county or counties with respect to which the authority was organized or willfully fails, neglects or refuses to comply with such ordinances or resolutions commits a Class A misdemeanor. Each day of continued violation constitutes a separate offense.

  Whenever, and as often as, a municipal corporation or county having taxing power enters into a contract with a solid waste authority or other contracting party under this part, the governing body of such municipal corporation or county shall provide by resolution for the levy and collection of a tax sufficient to pay when due the annual amount payable under such contract as and when it becomes due and payable, and to pay any expenses of maintaining and operating the project required to be paid by the municipal corporation or county under the terms of such contract or by instrument collateral thereto and, furthermore, to pledge such tax and the full faith and credit of the municipal corporation or county to such payments. Such tax shall be assessed, levied, collected and paid in like manner as other taxes of the municipal corporation or county. Such tax shall not be included within any statutory or other limitation of rate or amount for such municipal corporation or county, but shall be excluded therefrom and be in addition thereto and in excess thereof, notwithstanding and without regard to the prohibitions, restrictions or requirements of any other law, whether public or private. There shall be set aside from such tax levy into a special fund an amount sufficient for the payment of the annual amount due under any such contract, and the money in such fund shall be used exclusively for such purpose and shall not be used for any other purpose until such annual amount has been paid in full. The foregoing shall not be construed to limit the power of the authority or other contracting party to enter into contracts with a municipal corporation not having the power of taxation.   The governing body of any municipal corporation not having the power of taxation and the state of Tennessee shall, upon entering into a lease, loan agreement or sales contract with a public building authority or other contracting party, make adequate provision for the payment of the annual amount payable under the lease, loan agreement or sales contract.

The use of automotive oil by a distributor shall constitute a sale for the purposes of this section unless that use is exempted under other provisions of this part. It is the intention of this part that the fee shall be due only once on any given quantity of automotive oil.   The fee established in this part shall be collected by the department of revenue and deposited to the used oil collection fund. Of the funds received from this fee, for a period of three (3) years starting July 1, 2009, the state shall credit an amount not to exceed four hundred thousand dollars ($400,000) to the general fund annually, if the annual general appropriations act so provides, and the remainder shall be credited to the used oil collection fund.

  The fee on the sale of automotive oil shall not be imposed on automotive oil:  Exported from this state by a distributor, or sold by a distributor to a wholesaler or retailer who certifies to the distributor, in accordance with subsection (b), that the automotive oil will be exported from this state by the wholesaler or retailer, or resold to a user who will export the automotive oil from this state;   Sold by a distributor to a wholesaler, retailer, or user who certifies to the distributor, in accordance with subsection (b), that the oil is oil for use with industrial machinery.     The certification required in this section shall be in writing, and shall include an acknowledgement on the part of the person giving certification that such person shall be liable to the department of revenue for the fee imposed under § 68-211-1006, if the automotive oil is not sold or used in an exempt manner.

Good faith acceptance of a certification by a distributor, wholesaler or retailer shall relieve the distributor, wholesaler or retailer from any liability to the department of revenue for the fee otherwise applicable under § 68-211-1006. If a person certifies that the automotive oil will be sold or used in an exempt manner, and the automotive oil is subsequently resold or used in a manner that does not qualify as exempt, the person making the resale or putting the automotive oil to use shall be liable to the department of revenue for the fee.
