Senator O'Connell opened the subcommittee hearing on Senate Bill 
556.  She convened the committee as a subcommittee.  The meeting 
may have reached a committee quorum during various parts of the 
hearing, however; they never sustained the quorum and the 
meeting is considered a subcommittee hearing.

SENATE BILL 556:	Provides additional circumstances for 
creating unincorporated towns and revises 
provision governing establishment of basic 
ad valorem revenue for certain local 
governments.

Discussion involved how to establish a distribution mechanism 
for Motor Vehicle Privilege Tax (MVPT) and Supplemental 
City/County Relief Tax (SCCRT) to allow Spring Valley, which has 
never had the opportunity to participate in the distribution of 
those revenues, to participate in the distribution of those 
revenues.  The proposed 4-year SCCRT phase in, beginning in 
fiscal year 1996-1997 was discussed. Possible amendments were 
proposed.  Short- and long-term plans for the Spring Valley area 
and the capital improvements based on existing revenues were 
discussed.  How S.B. 556 affects the other areas in the county, 
not currently incorporated, was debated.   Discussion of 
possible topics for an interim study followed.

Senator O'Connell adjourned the subcommittee meeting at 7:50
