A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT to change the local option saleS tax (LOST) adjustment factor to one that varies by economic development tiers.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

SECTION 1.  G.S. 105‑486(b) reads as rewritten:

"(b)      Adjustment. – The Secretary shall then adjust the amount allocated to each county under subsection (a) by multiplying the amount by the appropriate adjustment factor set out in the table below. The adjustment factor is based on the development tier designation of the county under G.S. 143B‑437.08. The development tier designation of a county is effective for the fiscal year following the designation. If, after applying the adjustment factors, the resulting total of the amounts allocated is greater or lesser than the net proceeds to be distributed, the amount allocated to each county shall be proportionally adjusted to eliminate the excess or shortage.
