Section 45-49-71.04 Levy and Collection of Additional Privilege License Taxes, Excise Taxes, and Sales and Use Taxes.

(a) Subject to any limitation of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, or of any general law of this state, the Mobile County Commission or other like governing body shall have the power to levy and collect additional privilege license taxes, excise taxes, and sales and use taxes. The revenue from any of the taxes authorized above shall be deposited into the county treasury to be used in the manner prescribed by the county commission. (b) Any such additional tax levied by the governing body shall become law either with or without a referendum in the sole discretion of the governing body. In the event the county commission provides that the tax levied shall become law only upon approval of a majority of those voting in any election called for by the governing body for such purpose, then the election shall be held not less than 30 days nor more than 90 days after the county governing body adopts such a resolution.
