Based on data available from the period beginning on January 1 of the eighth calendar year immediately preceding the effective date of the bill and ending on December 31 of the calendar year immediately preceding the effective date of the bill, the director would be required to submit a Retrospective Tax Policy Impact Report consisting of the study's findings and recommendations, including whether any State or local tax laws or policies may be modified to improve the State's business climate and decrease the financial impact of taxes on businesses residing in the State.
