Bill Summary
This bill would permit the governing body of a municipality to adopt a resolution authorizing a municipal employee, without any further action by the governing body, to process a property tax refund or the cancellation of a property tax refund or delinquency of less than $20. Under current law, the amount of refund or cancellation that can be processed by a municipal employee without further action by the governing body is $10.
AI Summary
This bill increases the maximum amount of property tax refunds and certain cancellations that a municipal employee can authorize without requiring further approval from the municipal governing body, which is the group of elected officials responsible for local government. Currently, this limit is $10, but this bill proposes to raise it to $20. This means that municipal employees, if authorized by their local government through a resolution, can process refunds or cancel property tax debts, charges, and fees up to $20 without needing individual approval from the governing body for each transaction, making these smaller financial adjustments more efficient.
