Summary
This Act defines, for purposes of this section, “county authority” as the Chief Financial Officer of the Office of Finance, the Director of the Department of Finance of Kent County, and the Finance Director of Sussex County. This Act expressly authorizes the county authority to compel the production of testimony and documentary evidence whenever a county relies upon, or defends its reliance upon, the income approach or cost comparison approaches to assess the fair market value of real property. This Act permits the enforcement of subpoenas by order of the Superior Court and permits use of the court’s contempt powers. This Act equates a corporate or business entity’s non-compliance with an order enforcing a subpoena under this section to abuse or misuse of corporate powers sufficient to permit the Attorney General to commence proceedings to revoke a corporate charter pursuant to Title 8 of the Delaware Code.
