Change provisions relating to fees, commissions, and mileage of county sheriffs for distress warrants issued for the collection of taxes
LB 900 amends Nebraska law governing how county sheriffs are paid when collecting taxes through distress warrants. It changes the fee structure for issuing warrants ($22 per warrant), levy fees ($1), and mileage reimbursement for sheriffs' travel (based on existing rates in Section 33-117). The bill also updates commission rates for taxes collected: 10 cents per dollar on amounts up to $500, and 8 cents per dollar on amounts over $500. These changes directly affect county sheriffs who enforce tax collections and taxpayers who pay these fees as part of their tax burden. The bill repeals the original section 77-1720 to implement these updated provisions.
