owners of assessable real property in the district an annual tax
based on the assessed value of the real property.

(2)  The county commissioners shall transfer the tax
collected under this subsection to the county treasurer.

(3)  The proceeds of the tax collected under this
subsection shall be used only for the purpose of funding the
removal of abandoned vehicles from Smith Island and the
prevention of vehicle abandonment on Smith Island.

DRAFTER'S NOTE: This provision is included to resolve
questions raised by the Attorney General's May 24,
1985 bill review letter to the Governor regarding the
constitutionality of the title of Chapter 765 (House
Bill 858) of the Acts of the Regular Session of 1985.
That letter suggested that the title of House Bill 858
improperly indicated that the bill set the amount of
the real property tax to be assessed the Somerset
County Commissioners. In fact, the bill simply
provides that the tax is to be based on the assessable
value of the real property. The title of this
Curative Bill reflects the new provision, as shown
above.

SECTION 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That the Drafter's
Notes contained in this Act are not law and may not be considered
to have been enacted as a part of this Act.

SECTION 3. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act shall
take effect July 1, 1986.

Approved February 28, 1986.
