The bill amends the Local Tax Collection Law of May 25, 1945, by adding a new section that allows tax collectors, taxing districts, or designated private entities to impose and collect reasonable fees for the costs associated with notifying delinquent taxpayers regarding per capita, poll, and occupation taxes. These fees can be retained by the tax collector and must be documented in an itemized accounting on an annual basis. The fees can only be imposed for costs incurred within five years after the due date of the taxes and do not allow for civil actions seeking reimbursement or elimination of fees for collection efforts prior to the effective date of this subsection.
Additionally, the bill specifies that the collection of these delinquent taxes will not be subject to a contingent fee audit, ensuring that the process remains straightforward and transparent. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
