It shall be the duty of the Crenshaw County Commission to enforce this part and it shall have the right to examine the books, reports, and accounts of every dealer, storer, or distributor engaged in the business for which the tax is levied and to make all rules and regulations for the collection of the tax. Upon resolution of the Crenshaw County Commission, the State Department of Revenue is authorized to collect all taxes levied by Crenshaw County under this part. The resolution must be received and approved by the State Department of Revenue at least two months prior to the effective date of the collection and administration of the tax. The tax authorized shall be paid by affixing stamps as required for the payment of the tax imposed by Sections 40-25-1 to 40-25-28, inclusive. In accordance with subsection (q) of Section 40-25-2, in the event the aforementioned tobacco stamps are not available for affixing to tobacco products’ packages and containers, or by the authority of a duly promulgated regulation eliminating the requirement of affixing stamps, the Commissioner of Revenue may require a monthly report in lieu of stamps to report the amount of the tax due. The monthly report shall be in a form approved by the Commissioner of Revenue and adopted by the Department of Revenue under the Alabama Administrative Procedure Act, Sections 41-22-1 to 41-22-27, inclusive.
