AI Summary
This bill establishes a new motor vehicle privilege tax for Chester County, Tennessee, requiring all vehicle owners who reside in the county to pay $65.35 annually for each motor vehicle they own, with exceptions for auto-dealers' vehicles held for resale and farm tractors. The tax will be collected by the Chester County Clerk, who will issue a receipt and provide a decal to be displayed on the vehicle's license plate. Vehicle owners must keep a copy of the receipt, and failure to pay the tax or comply with its requirements will result in a Class C misdemeanor. The bill requires approval by at least two-thirds of the Chester County legislative body before it can take effect, and once approved, it will become law. This type of local tax is designed to generate revenue for the county and is conditional for operating a motor vehicle within Chester County's jurisdiction.
