22  SECTION 1.      NEW LAW  A new section of law to be codified

23 in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 426A of Title 63, unless there

    Req. No. 13846                                           Page 1
1   A. Any county of this state is hereby authorized to levy a

2 public service impact tax upon the retail sale of marijuana within

3 the limits of the county by any lawfully recognized for-profit

4 business entity in an amount specified in the special election

5 called as provided herein.

6   B. No public service impact tax shall be applicable to

7 marijuana grown by an individual person or persons on real property

8 owned by such person or persons and not sold.

9   C. Before a public service impact tax may be levied by the

10 county, the imposition of the tax shall first be approved by a

11 majority of the registered voters of the county voting thereon at a

12 special election called by the board of county commissioners or by

13 an initiative petition signed by not less than five percent (5%) of

14 the registered voters of the county who were registered at the time

15 of the last general election. The question submitted shall be

16 limited as described by subsections E and G of this section.

17 However, if a majority of the registered voters of a county voting

18 fail to approve such a tax, the board of county commissioners shall

19 not call another special election for such purpose for six (6)

20 months.

21  D. Any public service impact tax levied or any change in the

22 rate of a public service impact tax levied pursuant to the

23 provisions of this section shall become effective on the first day

24 of the calendar quarter following approval by the voters of the

    Req. No. 13846                                                  Page 2
1 county unless another effective date, which shall also be on the

2 first day of a calendar quarter, is specified in the ordinance or

3 resolution levying the tax or changing the rate of the tax. The

4 county may approve up to fifteen percent (15%) public service impact

5 tax on the retail sale of marijuana within the limits of the county.

6   E. Any public service impact tax which may be levied by a

7 county shall be designated for a specific or general purpose by a

8 majority vote of the board of county commissioners or as stated by

9 initiative petition. The county shall identify the purpose of the

10 public service impact tax when it is presented to the voters

11 pursuant to the provisions of this section.

12  F. The proceeds of any public service impact tax levied by a

13 county shall be deposited in the county general fund and shall be

14 used to enhance the efforts of county sheriffs, local police

15 departments, local fire departments, and improvements of dilapidated

16 properties.

17  G. The life of a public service impact tax levied pursuant to

18 the provisions of this section may be limited or unlimited in

19 duration. The county shall identify the duration of the tax when it

20 is presented to the voters pursuant to the provisions of this

21 section.

22  H. The Oklahoma Tax Commission shall give notice to all

23 relevant public service impact taxpayers of a rate change at least

24 sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of the rate change.

    Req. No. 13846                                                  Page 3
1 Failure to give notice as required by this section shall delay the

2 effective date of the rate change to the first day of the next

3 calendar quarter. The board of county commissioners of a county

4 levying a tax pursuant to the provisions of this section and the Tax

5 Commission are authorized to enter into a contract whereby the Tax

6 Commission shall have authority to assess, collect, and enforce the

7 tax and any penalties or interest thereon levied by the county and

8 to remit the same to the county. Such authority shall apply to any

9 tax levied pursuant to this section and penalty or interest

10 liability existing at the time of contracting. Upon contracting,

11 the Tax Commission shall have the power of enforcement of the public

12 service impact tax, penalties, or interest that are vested in the

13 county. The contract shall provide for the assessment, collection,

14 and enforcement of the public service impact tax, penalties, or

15 interest in the same manner as the administration, collection, or

16 enforcement of the state sales tax by the Tax Commission. For

17 providing such assistance, the Tax Commission shall charge the

18 county a fee of one-half of one percent (1/2 of 1%) of the gross

19 collection proceeds.

20  I. Initiative petitions calling for a special election

21 concerning public service impact tax proposals shall be in

22 accordance with all applicable provisions of Title 34 of the

23 Oklahoma Statutes. Petitions shall be submitted to the office of

24 the county clerk for approval as to form prior to circulation.

    Req. No. 13846                                                 Page 4
1 Following approval, the petitioner shall have ninety (90) days to

2 secure the required signatures. After securing the requisite number

3 of signatures, the petitioner shall submit the petition and

4 signatures to the county clerk. Following the verification of

5 signatures, the county clerk shall present the petition to the board

6 of county commissioners. The special election shall be held within

7 sixty (60) days of the board of county commissioners receiving the

8 petition from the county clerk.
