Bill > HB5598

This bill amends the Tax Tribunal Act to expand the methods by which the Tax Tribunal can hold hearings. Specifically, it allows the Tribunal to hold hearings either in person or electronically by telephone or video conferencing, if agreed upon by the parties and approved by the Tribunal. The bill also clarifies that the Tribunal must conduct its business in compliance with the Open Meetings Act, including providing public notice of the time, date, and place of any meetings. Additionally, the bill includes an enacting section that states this amendatory act will not take effect unless a related bill (Senate Bill No. ____ or House Bill No. 5599) is also enacted into law.
