[Adopted 9-9-2020 by L.L. No. 36-2020]
The real property tax bills prepared by the Receiver of Taxes of the 10 towns of Suffolk County shall set forth as a separate item on the tax bill, apart for all other County taxes, the proportionate aggregate amount of tax due for all County funds which is attributable to Suffolk County Community College. The tax should be next to the heading entitled: Suffolk County Community College Tax.
The tax bill shall contain the following explanation of the Suffolk County Community College Tax:
"New York State Education Law § 6304 obligates counties with community colleges to provide a minimum of 1/3 of the college's operating funds. This line represents the portion of taxes collected in association with this obligation."
A. 
In the event that any Receiver of Taxes of the 10 towns of Suffolk County willfully violates the provisions of this article by knowingly refusing to provide these separate tax bill lines, then the town in which such Receiver of Taxes is so employed shall be ineligible for receipt of any form of financial aid or assistance from the County of Suffolk (including Sewer Tax Stabilization monies authorized by Local Law No. 35-1999, "A Charter Law Adopting Common Sense Tax Stabilization Plan for Sewers, Environmental Protection, and County Taxpayers"), any program of County assistance or compensation for the printing of such tax bills and transfers of real property or personal property to a town within the County of Suffolk, for as long as such town is out of compliance with this article. Funding for the printing of real property tax bills shall not be paid unless the County Department of Law has first approved the actual formatting of tax bills by the pertinent town taxing jurisdiction as being in compliance with this article and only if the Legislative Office of Budget Review, in consultation with the Legislature's Counsel, certifies that tax bills are printed and/or mailed by the Receivers of Taxes in a format that is in compliance with this article and any subsequent amendments.
B. 
In the event that the Legislative Office of Budget Review, in consultation with the Legislature's Counsel, certifies that tax bills are printed and/or mailed by any of the Receivers of Taxes of the 10 towns of Suffolk County in a format that does not comply with this article and any subsequent amendments, then the County Department of Audit and Control is hereby authorized, empowered, and directed, under §§ C5-2I and C15-2G of the Suffolk County Charter, to decline to process for payment or actually pay any form of County financial assistance or County compensation that is 100% County-funded (including Sewer Tax Stabilization monies authorized by Local Law No. 35-1999, "A Charter Law Adopting Common Sense Tax Stabilization Plan for Sewers, Environmental Protection, and County Taxpayers") to a town within the County of Suffolk including, but not limited to, payments under § C4-6J of the Suffolk County Charter.
