JUSTIFICATION : Currently if taxes are paid in installments the first installment must be at least fifty percent of the total tax due. This would allow by resolution reduced minimum payments which would lift the burden on many taxpayers in this current economic crisis. Moreover, the flexibility of the bill would allow tax collectors to accept payments from taxpayers rather than turning them away if the payment was not high enough. LEGISLATIVE HISTORY : New bill
