Repeal of license tax on dogs
If 100 or more voters in a county sign a petition asking to get rid of the dog license tax, the county commission has to put that question on the next election ballot. If more than half the voters who vote on that question say yes to getting rid of the tax, the county commission announces the results and publishes it in a local newspaper. After that, the dog license tax no longer applies in that county.
