AI Summary
This bill modifies how ad valorem taxes are handled when a taxpayer's homestead exemption is denied or disapproved because they or their spouse failed to comply with state income tax laws. Specifically, if a homestead exemption is disallowed due to non-compliance with income tax laws, the tax collector will send the amount of the additional ad valorem taxes paid on that property, up to the amount of the outstanding income tax obligation, to the Department of Revenue. The Department of Revenue will then apply this money towards the taxpayer's income tax debt. The bill also includes provisions that bring forward existing laws related to the handling of excess proceeds from tax sales and the redemption of land sold for unpaid taxes, for potential future amendments.
