The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes related to the assessment of fees for counties, cities, towns, councils of governments, and regional transportation authorities that receive state shared revenues. Specifically, it would modify the existing language in section 42-5041 by expanding the scope of entities subject to fees to include those receiving revenues from sections 42-6105 and 42-6105.01, as well as clarifying the assessment process and payment deadlines. The bill also establishes legislative intent regarding the maximum fees to be charged for the fiscal year 2025-2026, setting a cap of $6,558,800 and detailing the proportional distribution of fees among the various entities based on prior fiscal year revenue distributions.

Additionally, the bill introduces specific limits on transfers related to the recreational marijuana excise tax and education sales tax for the Integrated Tax System Modernization Project, capping them at $177,200 and $795,300 respectively for the fiscal year 2025-2026. It further outlines the methodology for calculating the distribution of funds based on population data from the most recent U.S. census, ensuring that the apportionment of fees and transfers is equitable among the affected jurisdictions. Overall, these updates aim to streamline the fee assessment process and clarify financial expectations for the upcoming fiscal years.
