Bill > A09237

This bill provides a temporary extension for real property tax payments for federal employees who have been furloughed or designated as non-pay workers during a lapse in federal government discretionary appropriations. Specifically, the bill allows municipal corporations to extend tax payment deadlines by 90 days after the end of such a funding lapse, but only if the local government passes a resolution authorizing the extension. To qualify for the extension, affected employees or their spouses/domestic partners must provide documentation proving their furlough or non-pay status resulting from the federal funding interruption. The bill includes a sunset provision, meaning these special tax extension provisions will automatically expire on June 1, 2026. This legislation aims to provide financial relief to federal workers who may experience economic hardship during government shutdowns by giving them additional time to pay their property taxes without incurring penalties or interest.
