37 provides that in a county that has been declared to be a disaster area by proper federal authorities after March and prior to May of the year of assessment, the board of review is authorized to remain in session until June 15, instead of May 31, as is otherwise required. The bill extends that time period under such circumstances from June to July 15, and modifies the period of time for filing a protest from May through June to be May through June 5.
