Relates to the enforcement of taxes in certain school districts
This bill (S 5717) changes how unpaid school property taxes are handled in certain districts. County treasurers must pay 50% of unpaid school taxes directly to school districts by April 1st each year, while the state comptroller pays the other 50% simultaneously. County treasurers then repay the state in 11 equal monthly installments, fully repaying by March 1st the following year. The bill affects school districts, county treasurers, and the state comptroller by altering the payment timeline and distribution of unpaid tax funds.
