Purpose, from the sponsor's memo

Section 1 amends subparagraph (xv) of paragraph (a) of subdivision 1 of section 922 of the real property tax law to include the following language: "Notwithstanding any general, special or local law to the contrary, if the taxes set forth in the statement are payable in installments such statement shall clearly disclose the due dates for payment of such installments without interest or penalties." Section 2 amends subdivision 2 of section 974 of the real property tax law and Section 3 amends subdivision 2 of section 1338 of the real prop- erty tax law to replace the word "chapter" with "title" and includes the following language: "In addition, such statement shall clearly disclose the due dates for payment of such installments without interest and penalties." Section 4 amends the effective date of the underlying chapter from imme- diately to 120 days after it shall have become a law. Section 5 sets the effective date. EXISTING LAW: The underlying chapter places new requirements for disclosures on real property and school district taxes bills. The existing law mandates that, if a property owner elects to pay taxes in installments, the statement of taxes must include the due dates for these payments without interest or penalties. This applies to all relevant real property and school district taxes where installment payments are an option.

The sponsor's argument

Why Lea Webb says this is needed

This legislation is a negotiated change to the underlying chapter to ensure all taxing jurisdictions that offer installment payments are captured in the law, and to reduce the administrative burden on local governments in complying with the law.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
