Weakley County - Subject to local approval, increases, from 15¢ to 20¢, the mineral severance tax in accordance with statutory guidelines. - Amends Chapter 270 of the Private Acts of 1982.

This bill proposes to increase the mineral severance tax in Weakley County from 15 cents to 20 cents per ton on sand, gravel, clay, and other minerals extracted for commercial use. The change requires approval from a two-thirds vote of the Weakley County legislative body before it can take effect, ensuring local control over the decision. Once approved, the tax would apply to minerals as soon as they are removed from the ground and transported from the mine, regardless of where they are processed or sold. The bill also establishes that unpaid taxes would create a lien on the minerals and the mining property, taking priority over other debts.
