534. Notwithstanding any provision of any general law or special Act, in respect of the municipal fiscal period 1980, the time allowed to prepare, submit to the council, adopt, transmit or contest the budget of a municipal corporation, municipality or body whose budget is adopted or approved by it, and, as the case may be, the by-laws and resolutions that must accompany the budget, is extended by three months.
In addition, the Minister may extend the time by more than three months, to such date as he may fix, for all municipal corporations and municipalities or any category of them.
This section does not prevent the Minister from granting additional time to a municipal corporation or municipality on the conditions provided by the Act which applies to it in this matter.
