(k) (1) The County Council in order to protect the revenues
to be obtained under this section may require any person
collecting the tax who has previously been in default, to file
with the Council a surety bond issued by a surety company
authorized to do business in this State and approved by the State
Insurance Commissioner as to solvency and responsibility in such
amount or amounts from time to time as the County Council may fix
to secure the payment of the tax due or which may become due from
the person collecting the tax. If the Council determines that
the person is to file such a bond, the Council shall cause notice
to be given to the person to that effect specifying the amount of
bond required. The person collecting the tax shall file the bond
within 5 days after receiving the notice unless within that
period he requests in writing a hearing before the Council at
which hearing the necessity, propriety, and amount of the bond
shall be determined by the County Council. This determination is
final and shall be complied with within 15 days after the person
collecting the tax receives notice thereof.

(2) In lieu of the bond required by paragraph (1) of
this subsection, securities approved by the County Council or
cash in such amounts as the Council prescribes may be deposited,
and shall be kept in the custody of the Council. The Council at
any time without notice to the depositor of the securities or
cash may apply them to any tax due, and for that purpose the
securities may be sold by the Board at public or private sale
without notice to the depositor of the securities.

SECTION 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act shall
take effect July 1, 1985.

Approved May 21, 1985.
