Bill Summary
Modifies provisions governing the use of county developmental disability resource board tax levies
AI Summary
This bill modifies the legal provisions governing county developmental disability resource board tax levies, specifically allowing certain city and county governing bodies to levy and collect taxes to support sheltered workshops and related services. The bill permits cities not within a county and most county commissions to levy up to four mills per dollar of assessed valuation, with some exceptions for specific large counties that can levy up to two mills. The bill clarifies that funds collected must be deposited in a special fund and used exclusively for establishing and maintaining sheltered workshops, residences, facilities, and related services. The legislation also introduces new provisions specifying that board-approved expenditures can include operational funds for compliant sheltered workshops, prohibits boards from imposing additional certification requirements beyond existing state education department standards, and allows expenditures for workshops, residences, facilities, and related services. Additionally, the bill ensures that funding recipients can be required to provide financial, progress, and outcome reports, with the reporting frequency and specific requirements determined by the funding grantor, while maintaining flexibility in how funds can be used to support developmental disability services.
