1374	1374	to such local sales tax insofar as such laws and rules and regulations may
1375	1375	be made applicable. The state director of taxation is hereby authorized to
1376	1376	administer, enforce and collect such local sales taxes and to adopt such
1377	1377	rules and regulations as may be necessary for the efficient and effective
1378	1378	administration and enforcement thereof.
1379	1379	Upon receipt of a certified copy of an ordinance or resolution
1380	1380	authorizing the levy of a local retailers' sales tax, the director of taxation
1381	1381	shall cause such taxes to be collected within or without the boundaries of
1382	1382	such taxing subdivision at the same time and in the same manner provided
1383	1383	for the collection of the state retailers' sales tax. Such copy shall be
1384	1384	submitted to the director of taxation within 30 days after adoption of any
1385	1385	such ordinance or resolution. The director of taxation shall confirm that all
1386	1386	provisions of law applicable to the authorization of local sales tax have
1387	1387	been followed prior to causing the collection. If the director of taxation
1388	1388	discovers that a city or county did not comply with any provision of law
1389	1389	applicable to the authorization of a local sales tax after collection has
1390	1390	commenced, the director shall immediately notify the city or county and
1391	1391	cease collection of such sales tax until such noncompliance is remedied.
1392	1392	All moneys collected by the director of taxation under the provisions of
1393	1393	this section shall be credited to a county and city retailers' sales tax fund
1394	1394	which fund is hereby established in the state treasury, except that all
1395	1395	moneys collected by the director of taxation pursuant to the authority
1396	1396	granted in K.S.A. 12-187(b)(22), and amendments thereto, shall be
1397	1397	credited to the Wilson county capital improvements fund. Any refund due
1398	1398	on any county or city retailers' sales tax collected pursuant to this act shall
1399	1399	be paid out of the sales tax refund fund and reimbursed by the director of
1400	1400	taxation from collections of local retailers' sales tax revenue. Except for
1401	1401	local retailers' sales tax revenue required to be deposited in the
1402	1402	redevelopment bond fund established under K.S.A. 74-8927, and
1403	1403	amendments thereto, all local retailers' sales tax revenue collected within
1404	1404	any county or city pursuant to this act shall be apportioned and remitted at
1405	1405	least quarterly by the state treasurer, on instruction from the director of
1406	1406	taxation, to the treasurer of such county or city.
1407	1407	Revenue that is received from the imposition of a local retailers' sales
1408	1408	tax that exceeds the amount of revenue required to pay the costs of a
1409	1409	special project for which such revenue was pledged shall be credited to the
1410	1410	city or county general fund, as the case requires.
1411	1411	The director of taxation shall provide, upon request by a city or county
1412	1412	clerk or treasurer or finance officer of any city or county levying a local
1413	1413	retailers' sales tax, monthly reports identifying each retailer doing business
1414	1414	in such city or county or making taxable sales sourced to such city or

1482	1482	apportioned among the county and each city located in such county in the
1483	1483	proportion that the total tangible property tax levies made in such county
1484	1484	in the preceding year for all funds of each such governmental unit bear to

1487	1487	1
1488	1488	/2 of all revenue received by the director of taxation from such

1490	1490	each city located in such county, first to the county that portion of the
1491	1491	revenue equal to the proportion that the population of the county residing
1492	1492	in the unincorporated area of the county bears to the total population of the
1493	1493	county, and second to the cities in the proportion that the population of
1494	1494	each city bears to the total population of the county, except that no persons

1589	1589	of any county or city district entity or subdivision shall be included within
1590	1590	this term if the levy of any such district entity or subdivision is applicable

1643	1643	tax levied within each city bears to the total tax levied by the district.
1644	1644	(d) (1) All revenue received from a countywide retailers' sales tax
1645	1645	imposed pursuant to K.S.A. 12-187(b)(2), (3)(C), (3)(F), (3)(G), (3)(I), (6),

1648	1648	amendments thereto, shall be remitted to and shall be retained by the
1649	1649	county and expended only for the purpose for which the revenue received
1650	1650	from the tax was pledged.
1651	1651	(2) Except as otherwise provided in K.S.A. 12-187(b)(5), and
1652	1652	amendments thereto, all revenues received from a countywide retailers'
1653	1653	sales tax imposed pursuant to K.S.A. 12-187(b)(5), and amendments
1654	1654	thereto, shall be remitted to and shall be retained by the county and

1656	1656	was pledged.
1657	1657	(3) All revenue received from a countywide retailers' sales tax
1658	1658	imposed pursuant to K.S.A. 12-187(b)(26), and amendments thereto, shall
1659	1659	be remitted to and shall be retained by the county and expended only for
1660	1660	the purpose for which the revenue received from the tax was pledged
1661	1661	unless the question of imposing a countywide retailers' sales tax authorized
1662	1662	by K.S.A. 12-187(b)(26), and amendments thereto, includes the
1663	1663	apportionment of revenue prescribed in subsection (a).

1665	1665	paid to the respective treasurers thereof and deposited in the general fund
1666	1666	of the city. Whenever the territory of any city is located in two or more
1667	1667	counties and any one or more of such counties do not levy a countywide
1668	1668	retailers' sales tax, or whenever such counties do not levy countywide
1669	1669	retailers' sales taxes at a uniform rate, the revenue received by such city
1670	1670	from the proceeds of the countywide retailers' sales tax, as an alternative to
1671	1671	depositing the same in the general fund, may be used for the purpose of
1672	1672	reducing the tax levies of such city upon the taxable tangible property
1673	1673	located within the county levying such countywide retailers' sales tax.
1674	1674	(f) Prior to March 1 of each year, the secretary of revenue shall advise
1675	1675	each county treasurer of the revenue collected in such county from the
1676	1676	state retailers' sales tax for the preceding calendar year.
1677	1677	(g) Prior to December 31 of each year, the clerk of every county
1678	1678	imposing a countywide retailers' sales tax shall provide such information
1679	1679	deemed necessary by the secretary of revenue to apportion and remit
1680	1680	revenue to the counties and cities pursuant to this section.
1681	1681	(h) The provisions of subsections (a) and (b) for the apportionment of
1682	1682	countywide retailers' sales tax shall not apply to any revenues received
1683	1683	pursuant to a county or countywide retailers' sales tax levied or collected
