Creates a revolving fund "Ad Valorem Reimbursement Fund" which shall be a continuing fund, not subject to fiscal year limitations to 1) reimburse counties for loss of revenue due to exemptions of ad valorem taxes for new or expanded manufacturing or research and development facilities. 2) reimburse counties for loss of revenue for school district purposes due to a purchase by the state of property located in the county for an amount greater than $300,000,000.00. The OKGOP platform states we support sunset laws, zero-based budgeting and performance audits to justify government programs.
