AI Summary

  • Authorizes municipalities to impose a special assessment to fund law enforcement services costs, contingent on governing body ordinance adoption and ad valorem millage reduction.

  • Allows assessment apportionment based on property size, location, use, projected police response time, property value (as non-primary factor), and other reasonable benefit-related factors.

  • Requires municipalities to reduce ad valorem millage by the amount equivalent to projected special assessment revenue, with maximum reductions capped at 75 percent (or 50 percent if approved by two-thirds vote).

  • Sets the rolled-back rate for future ad valorem millage increases to the millage imposed in the implementation year, adjusted for per capita personal income changes.
