Local Government (Amendment) Act, 2014 (No. 12 of 2014).

This Act amends the Local Government Act so as to establish the Local Government Equalisation Fund. The purpose of the Fund is to disburse funds to councils to supplement the financing of councils for the performance of their functions listed in the Second Schedule of the principal Act. The Fund shall be vested in the Minister responsible for finance and shall be administered by the Minister responsible for local government. Notwithstanding the establishment of the Fund, the Minister responsible for finance may, in consultation with the Minister responsible for Local Government, make specific grants to councils for additional functions that may be devolved to the councils.
