Notwithstanding any provision of law or in the court rules to the contrary, any municipality bringing an action pursuant to section 6 of P.L. 1940, c. 4 (C. 54:30A-21), shall file a verified complaint, which shall be served within 10 days thereafter on the Attorney General and on the clerk or officer having like duties of each municipality entitled to any portion of the excise taxes imposed by law upon the taxpayer. The tax court shall give precedence to those appeals over any other appeals before the court.
