reduced to a judgment, is contained in an order of a court, or is
delinquent unsecured property taxes against any amount owed to.
the person or entity by any state agency or a claim for a refund

Both the Director of the Office of Revenue Collection and the
Municipal Court Administrator endorse SB 526 and recommend that
the Board of Supervisors support it. Since SB 526 has the
potential to assist the County in collecting revenue due it, it
is recommended that the Board of Supervisors indicate its support
of SB 526.
SB 526 passed the Senate Revenue & Taxation Committee on April 3 ,
1991 by a vote of 5: 0 and is currently on referral to the Senate
Appropriations Committee.
