AL HB610

Amends Section 40-8-3 of the Code of Alabama 1975 to redirect one percent of gross tax collections from the $.10 property tax (levied for relief of needy Confederate soldiers, sailors, and widows) to the Alabama Historical Commission for allocation to multiple historical properties.

Allocates the one percent gross collections as follows: $100,000 to Historic Blakeley State Park, $50,000 to Fort Gaines, $100,000 to Tannehill Ironworks, $100,000 to Decatur Civil War Walking Trail, $50,000 to Birmingham Civil Rights Museum, and remainder to Confederate Memorial Park.

Previously, one percent of collections was expended exclusively by the Alabama Historical Commission for capital improvements and maintenance at Confederate Memorial Park at Mountain Creek, Chilton County.

Becomes effective immediately upon passage and approval by the Governor or upon otherwise becoming law.
