Explanatory Note 2. As the Act now stands there is no authority to constitute as a separate improvement district a municipal district that has been dissolved. If a municipal district is dissolved it appears that it must be added to some existing improvement district. The purpose of this amendment is to permit the constitution, as a separate improvement district, of a municipal district that has been dissolved. or any portion of a city, town, village, municipal district, county or special area that has been withdrawn. 3.

As the Act now stands the owners of improvements only in hospital agreement areas are not eligible for hospitalization benefits. This amendment would grant hospitalization benefits to the owners of improvements only in improvement districts in the same manner as is presently extended to owners of improvements only in municipal hospital districts in improvement districts. 4. As the Act now stands there is no authority for the cancel lation of uncollectible arrears of taxes similar to provisions in The Municipal District Act and The Town and Village Act.

The proposed amendment would permit the Minister to authorize the cancellation of uncollectible arrears of taxes.
