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 regards to the debt, the county or municipality may certify the debt to the

Department of Revenue (DOR) so that DOR may collect the debt for the county or

municipality by subtracting the amount of the debt from any tax refund owed to the

debtor. Under this bill, counties and municipalities may also certify to DOR for

collection debts owed to an ambulance service operating pursuant to a contract with

the county or municipality, if the debt relates to providing ambulance services to

individuals in that municipality or county.
