One of these <br /> requests is that you seek amendment to and that you support <br /> Senate Bill 469 , Senator Hartsell ' s local revenue option bill . <br /> The local revenue raised under Senate Bill 469 could only be used <br /> for school construction and would authorize revenue sources as <br /> alternatives to debt service to finance badly needed school <br /> construction projects . <br /> Orange County has previously requested a local bill enabling <br /> it to enact a transfer tax. The Board of Commissioners <br /> understands that Orange County ' s Omnibus Bill, including the <br /> transfer tax, may not move out of the Senate Rules Committee . <br /> The Orange County Board of Commissioners requests amendment to <br /> Senator Hartsell ' s bill to include Orange County as an <br /> alternative. <br /> Thank you for your help with these legislative matters .
