Requires county property tax reduction in amount equivalent to sum required to fund costs and services specified above. Financial impact: To extent counties do not raise revenues from other sources to continue above services, would result in approximately $2 billion revenue loss in 1978-79 to county governments. Net effect on state government could be increase in costs of up to $900 million a year based on 1978-79 data.
