(b) If a local taxing authority shall fail to file the report required by subsection (a) by the date therein prescribed, or within any extension granted by the department, it shall forfeit its right to share in the next-ensuing distribution made pursuant to section 1107-A.  1

(c) Notwithstanding section 731 of the act of April 9, 1929 (P.L. 343, No. 176),  2 known as “The Fiscal Code,” relating to confidential information, reports filed under this section shall be public.

(d) A report filed by a local taxing authority shall be deemed to be prima facie correct unless rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence.
