This bill amends section 77-1720 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, which pertains to the fees, commissions, and mileage associated with distress warrants for tax collection. The proposed changes include increasing the fee for issuing each distress warrant from two dollars to twenty dollars. Additionally, the bill modifies the commission structure for taxes collected through distress and sale, changing the threshold for the commission rate from one hundred dollars to five hundred dollars. Under the new provisions, the commission will be ten cents on each dollar for amounts not exceeding five hundred dollars and eight cents on each dollar for amounts exceeding five hundred dollars.

Furthermore, the bill repeals the original section 77-1720, thereby eliminating outdated provisions regarding levy fees and mileage calculations for officers serving multiple warrants. The new language clarifies that all fees, mileage, and commissions will be charged to the parties against whom the distress warrants are issued and collected as part of the original tax. The bill aims to streamline the process and update the fee structure to better reflect current practices in tax collection.
