HCS HB 950 & 948 -- CLASSIFICATION OF COUNTIES (Mayer)

This substitute increases the assessed valuation a county must
maintain in order to move into a higher classification.  The
assessed valuation for counties of the first classification is
increased from $450 million to $600 million.  The assessed
valuation for counties of the second classification is increased
from $300 million to $450 million.  All counties with an assessed
valuation of less than $450 million will be counties of the third
classification.  Any county that has the requisite assessed
valuation to become a county of the first classification may
choose to do so upon an affirmative vote of the county's
governing body, even though the county has not had this valuation
for five successive years as required under current law.

The substitute contains an emergency clause.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds.
