        (a)  General rule.--No judicial officer or officer enforcing
     orders of a court or magisterial district judge shall, as such,
     sell the property of any person without filing with the
     Department of Revenue at least 20 days prior to the sale a
     report or return with respect to such property containing such
     information as the department may specify by regulation.
        (b)  Exceptions.--The department may by regulation exempt
     certain classes of transactions from the requirements of
     subsection (a) if it finds that such reports are not necessary
     to facilitate the collection of the public revenues. The
     requirements of subsection (a) shall not be applicable to any
     transaction where the court, after notice to the department,
     finds that the exigency of the case is such as to impel the
     omission of usual procedures.
