What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, if a person owes a debt of at least $20 to a county or

municipality, and if the debt has been reduced to a judgment or the county or

municipality has provided the debtor reasonable notice and an opportunity to be

heard with regard to the debt, the county or municipality may certify the debt to the

Department of Revenue (DOR) so that DOR may collect the debt by subtracting the

debt amount from any tax refund owed to the debtor. Under current law, for purposes

of certifying debt to DOR, a "municipality" means any city, village, or town, and

includes any entity providing consolidated services among cities, villages, and

towns.

This bill clarifies that, for purposes of certifying debt to DOR, a "municipality"

means any city, village, or town, and includes any entity formed pursuant to an

intergovernmental cooperation contract or agreement to provide consolidated

services directly to cities, villages, and towns.
