"C. In allocating funding to commissioners of revenue offices, the Compensation Board shall not consider activities related to the collection and processing of income taxes in determining staffing needs of commissioners of revenue offices in localities with populations of 100,000 and above, as reported in the 2000 Census."

Explanation
(This amendment reduces Compensation Board reimbursements to commissioners of revenue to reflect amounts paid for state tax duties in localities with populations of 100,000 and above, as reported in the 2000 Census. These duties can be more cost-effectively undertaken by the Department of Taxation which already receives 71 percent of the returns filed by citizens of the Commonwealth.)
