at that point, all county charters do at this point.
They vary a little bit. Some things just like with state
laws cannot be referred but for the most part I under-
s tand they do provide for referendum, that is the point
you provide for local referendum.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Chabot.
DELEGATE CHABOT: I would like to continue on
this same point as you indicated before, most local
charters do not permit tax measures to be referred. If
you permitted an individual county to have a particular
taxing power, then the exercise of that power by the
county would probably not be the occasion to refer it
to, to petition the county's action to referendum.
Therefore, the only time when such a bill could
be petitioned would be the time when the General Assembly
acted to grant the authority. Would you feel that that
act by the General Assembly should be referred only as
a statewide hill would be referred?
DELEGATE 'SLR: '-'-'hat do you provide in the
present referendum provision for the stats? You nrovide
state tax laws are subiect to be referred.
