This bill removes a requirement that county commissioners include a five percent calculation in their annual budgeting process, simplifying how counties determine the tax levy needed to cover approved budgets and expenses. The change eliminates an outdated statute (§7-21-18) and updates the rules for how counties calculate taxes based on their actual appropriations and expected revenue rather than a fixed percentage adjustment.
