MS HB1339

Amends Section 37-29-143 of Mississippi Code to require county tax collectors to transmit community college district tax revenues directly to the district's public depository instead of to the chancery clerk.

Tax collectors must transmit all revenues from taxes levied under Section 37-29-141 for community college support on or before the 30th day of each month for the prior month's collections.

Revenues must be immediately deposited in public depositories designated by the community college district's board of trustees.

The board of trustees retains authority to direct expenditure of funds through the college president or chief executive officer in accordance with the district's adopted budget.

Takes effect July 1, 2017.
