Baldwin County, Legislative Office Fund and distributions from county privilege license tax further provided for

SB 276 amends Alabama law to clarify funding for Baldwin County’s legislative office and allocate distributions from the county’s business license tax (privilege license tax). It requires 75% of the tax revenue to fund the legislative office, including $200,000 annually for office operations, equipment, and travel (with $2,000/year limits for House members and $7,500 for Senate members). The remaining tax revenue is distributed as follows: 12% to historic sites (10% to Historic Blakeley Authority), 8% to economic development, and 1.5% to the Historic Development Commission. Any excess in the legislative office fund over $300,000 annually must be distributed to the Historic Development Commission for capital improvements.
