AI Summary

This bill authorizes county commissions in West Virginia to impose an emergency medical services sales tax, which can be up to one-quarter of one percent of the purchase price of taxable goods and services, with some exceptions like motor vehicles and motor fuel. The revenue generated from this tax is to be exclusively used to fund emergency medical services within the county, covering operations, personnel, equipment, and response capabilities, and will be distributed monthly by the Tax Commissioner. Counties must notify the Tax Commissioner, State Auditor, and State Treasurer at least 180 days before imposing or changing the rate of this tax, and the Tax Commissioner will administer, collect, and enforce the tax, retaining a fee of up to five percent for these services. This county tax is in addition to existing state and other local taxes.
