2.  The mapping feature shall also have the option to superimpose state house of representative districts and state senate districts over the political subdivisions.

3.  A political subdivision collecting sales or use tax listed in subsection 1 of this section shall provide to the department of revenue mapping and geographic data pertaining to the political subdivision's borders and jurisdictions.  The political subdivision shall certify the accuracy of the data by affidavit and shall provide the data in a format specified by the department of revenue.  Such data relating to sales taxes shall be sent to the department of revenue by April 1, 2019, and shall be updated and sent to the department if a change in the political subdivision's borders or jurisdiction occurs thereafter.  Such data relating to use taxes shall be sent to the department of revenue by January 1, 2022.  If a political subdivision fails to provide the information required under this subsection, the department of revenue shall use the last known sales or use tax rate for such political subdivision.

4.  The department of revenue may contract with another entity to build and maintain the mapping feature.

5.  By July 1, 2019, the department shall implement the mapping feature using the sales tax data provided to it under subsection 3 of this section.  By July 1, 2022, the department shall implement the mapping feature using use tax data provided to it under subsection 3 of this section.
