Escambia County, cigarette and beer taxes further provided for

HB 571 updates the administration and enforcement of local cigarette and beer taxes in Escambia County, directly affecting the County Commission and the judge of probate. The bill authorizes the county governing body to create rules for tax collection and requires them to provide funds for the judge of probate to purchase necessary administrative supplies. It also allows the county to employ inspectors to assist in enforcing these taxes, increasing the monthly spending limit for these positions and clarifying that expenses are reimbursed from tax revenues. Additionally, the bill repeals an older 1953 act related to the Escambia County beer tax.
