§40-13-60. Election to exempt county from this chapter.

Within 90 days after October 1, 2004, any county may elect to have the provisions of this article inapplicable to their county. Such election must be made by an affirmative, majority vote of the membership of the county commission so electing to exempt the county from the provisions of this article. Any county making such election shall not receive the proceeds or benefits of any tax collected under this article. Should any county, after electing to be exempted from this article, determine to have the provisions of this article apply to the county, then such county must repeal such previous election by a majority vote of the membership of the county commission and this article shall then apply to such county and the terms and provisions of this article, as amended, shall supersede and take precedence over any act or resolution of the county taxing the severance of materials within such county. Any election under this section shall be filed with the department.
