52:27BB-24. Authority of director as to budget; reduction in rate of interest; powers of county board of taxation
The director may inquire into any item of budget or certification of requirements and may order any item required by law to be raised by taxation for municipal, county or school purposes which has been omitted in whole or in part from any budget to be included in the budget or the tax ordinance or resolution or tax levy, or he may inquire into any item of the budget and if wrongly stated in such budget, may order said item to be corrected and properly stated in the budget before its adoption, or to have the error corrected and adjusted in the tax ordinance or resolution or in the tax levy. All such orders shall constitute a mandatory obligation upon the governing body of any municipality, county or school district or the sinking fund commission or the county board of taxation, as the case may be.
Where any county or other municipality has agreed or shall agree with the holders of fifty per centum (50%) in amount of any evidence of indebtedness of any such county or other municipality to accept a reduced rate of interest thereon, or postpone any amortization requirement concerning any such evidence of indebtedness, the county board of taxation may reduce to such extent the item or items so certified by the director. Upon application to such county board of taxation by any county or other municipality for such reduction or reductions, such county board shall within thirty days fix a date for the hearing of such application, of which hearing public notice shall be given by the county board of taxation, and at the time and place so fixed any party in interest may be heard. Upon being satisfied of the sufficiency of such application the county board of taxation may correct and reduce the item or items within the limits fixed by this section.
