  • Requires school district and intermediate school district treasurers to certify final damage judgments to township supervisors, assessing officers, and school secretaries, with the judgment amount then assessed as school taxes.

  • Allows judgment creditors to file a court clerk's certificate if the treasurer fails to certify the judgment, ensuring the judgment can still be collected.

  • Exempts judgments from certification if the school district lacked authority to enter the contract or if the district is under a state consent agreement that requires state treasurer approval before certification.

  • Excludes judgments on contracts over $100,000 where the school district failed to pay within 90 days and the creditor did not provide written notice to the board, superintendent, and state treasurer of the payment failure and intent to stop services.
