354.599  Specified source of additional revenue required under certain circumstances when Legislature directs local governmental action requiring additional funding.  If the Legislature directs one or more local governments to:

      1.  Establish a program or provide a service; or

      2.  Increase a program or service already established which requires additional funding,

Ê and the expense required to be paid by each local government to establish, provide or increase the program or service is $5,000 or more, a specified source for the additional revenue to pay the expense must be authorized by a specific statute. The additional revenue may only be used to pay expenses directly related to the program or service. If a local government has money from any other source available to pay such expenses, that money must be applied to the expenses before any money from the revenue source specified by statute.
