Private Acts of 2005 Chapter 67

SECTION 1. Chapter 157 of the Private Acts of 2002 levied the tax on property within the McKenzie Special School District at a rate of two dollars ($2.00) on every one hundred dollars ($100).  As a result of the 2003 general reappraisal of property in Carroll County, a certified tax rate, which is the present rate for the McKenzie Special School District, was set pursuant to Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 67-5-1704, at one dollar and fifty-three cents ($1.53) on every one hundred dollars ($100).  It is the intent of this act, pursuant to the request of the McKenzie Board of Education, that the tax rate for the special school district be increased from the present rate of one dollar and fifty-three cents ($1.53) on every one hundred dollars ($100) to two dollars ($2.00) on every one hundred dollars ($100).

SECTION 2.  Chapter 533 of the Private Acts of 1917, as amended by Chapter 51 of the Private Acts of 1945, Chapter 913 of the Private Acts of 1949, Chapter 201 of the Private Acts of 1959, Chapter 264 of the Private Acts of 1967, Chapter 166 of the Private Acts of 1975, Chapter 143 of the Private Acts of 1981, Chapter 93 of the Private Acts of 1987, Chapter 47 of the Private Acts of 2001, and Chapter 157 of the Private Acts of 2002, and any other acts amendatory thereto, is further amended in Section 7 by deleting the words and figures “two dollars ($2.00) on every one hundred dollars ($100)” and substituting instead the words and figures “two dollars ($2.00) on every one hundred dollars ($100)”, it being the legislative intent that by such action the tax rate of the McKenzie Special School District shall be increased to two dollars ($2.00) on every one hundred dollars ($100).

SECTION 3.  This act shall take effect upon becoming a law, the public welfare requiring it.
