Other
Payments from counties to towns
Under current law, during the period beginning on the third Monday of March
and ending ten days after the annual town meeting, a county treasurer may not pay
to a town treasurer any money that belongs to the town and that is in the hands of
the county treasurer except upon a written order of the town board. The bill
eliminates this restriction.
Because this bill relates to an exemption from state or local taxes, it may be
referred to the Joint Survey Committee on Tax Exemptions for a report to be printed
as an appendix to the bill.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
