What's happening
This bill extends until December 31, 2019, Middletown’s authority to sell or pledge delinquent tax liens to private parties.
Why it matters
Local scope. The change applies only to Middletown’s delinquent liens, not tax collection statewide.
Collection option preserved. In addition to selling or pledging liens, the underlying law allows the city to hire a private party to collect delinquent tax liens.
Timing, not new powers. The bill moves the existing law’s expiration from 2017 to 2019 without changing its authorized transactions. The amendment would take effect immediately.
