The following goal was approved by the Legislative Goals Committee but was not <br />approved by the Board of Directors. <br /> <br />Debt Set Off, State Income Tax Refunds <br />Seek legislation authorizing: 1) The Department of Revenue to withhold payment of <br />state tax refunds to persons who are delinquent in payment of local government <br />property taxes, fees, and assessments on behalf of local government units. 2) Local <br />Governments to establish a single joint agency for processing and filing claims for <br />the withholding of state tax refunds with the State Department of Revenue. <br /> <br />Chapter 105A of the General Statutes, the Set OffDebt Collection Act, currently lists a <br />number of state agencies entitled to collect monies owed to them by debtors receiving <br />state income tax refunds. The Department 0fRevenue administers the program.. This <br />proposal would add local governments, acting through a separate joint agency rather than <br />directly through the Department, to collect delinquent local taxes and fees through the act. <br /> <br /> <br />
