Bill Summary

As introduced, requires that a reduction of the allocations and distributions of certain tax and other revenues to counties and municipalities due to a population loss based on the revised populations certified by the department of economic and community development be implemented incrementally in 20 percent increments over a five-year period. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 3; Title 4, Chapter 49; Section 9-16-101; Title 54, Chapter 4; Title 55, Chapter 4; Title 57, Chapter 5, Part 2; Title 57, Chapter 3, Part 3 and Title 67.

AI Summary

This bill establishes a five-year incremental phase-in for reductions in tax and other revenue allocations to counties and municipalities that experience a population decrease, as certified by the department of economic and community development. Instead of immediately losing the full amount of funding based on the new, lower population figures, local governments will see their allocations reduced by no more than 20% of the total projected loss in the first year. This reduction will then increase by an additional 20% each subsequent year until the allocation fully reflects the certified population. If a jurisdiction's population later increases, the department of revenue will recalculate the base loss and adjust the phase-in accordingly, ensuring a smoother transition for local government finances.
