What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill provides that if the Department of Administration or Department of Revenue determines by August 15, 2020, that there was an overpayment or underpayment made in DOR's certification for the 2019 personal property aid distribution to taxing jurisdictions, DOR must correct any underpayments by increasing the subsequent year's distribution. Corrections will be made without interest, but no corrections will be made for overpayments.
Under current law, DOR corrects any overpayment in shared revenue and local aid payments (which include the personal property aid distribution) by reducing the subsequent year's distribution and corrects any underpayment in such payments by increasing the subsequent year's distribution. Under current law, the corrections are made without interest.
