Currently, any county may seek voter approval to levy a property tax not to exceed $0.05 per $100 of assessed valuation for the purpose of providing services to persons aged 60 or older. This bill increases the authorization to up to $0.10 per $100 of assessed valuation.
The bill requires each Senior Citizens' Services Fund board of directors established in 2016 or after to receive accreditation. The accreditation must be renewed annually. The accreditation must be through a statewide nonprofit organization. The nonprofit will provide a certificate of completion to each board that completes the training. A fee of 1% of the revenues from the senior citizens' services fund tax will be charged annually for the accreditation.
