SB 638 - This act requires counties to deposit a percentage of their ad valorem property tax collections into a county assessment fund to support installation, operation and maintenance of a geographic information system as approved by the county governing body. Between January 1, 2003, and December 31, 2005, the percentages are: one-fifth of one percent for counties of the first classification and cities not within a county, and one half of one percent for all other counties. Beginning on January 1, 2006, the percentages are reduced to one-quarter of their original levels, to: one-twentieth of one percent and one eighth of one percent, respectively.

This act is similar to SCS/SBs 347 & 487 (2001).
