The General Assembly recognizes that legislation considered by the First Extraordinary Session of the Seventy-First General Assembly may remove the penalty requirements for failure to pay property taxes by installments and that this action may result in a reduction of property tax revenues available to cities, counties, and school districts, thereby imposing a financial hardship upon the cities, counties, and school districts during portions of their calendar or fiscal year. It is, therefore, the intent of this subchapter to authorize the State Board of Finance, in the manner provided in this subchapter, to make temporary loans to cities, counties, and school districts to assist in maintaining their average cash flow in the event there is a material reduction in their cash flow resulting from legislation enacted by the First Extraordinary Session of the Seventy-First General Assembly.
