AI Summary
This bill modifies Mississippi state law regarding tax liens by establishing new time limitations for the Department of Revenue's ability to collect on tax liens. Specifically, for tax liens initially enrolled on the tax lien registry on or after July 1, 2025, the department will be prohibited from taking collection actions more than 10 years after the initial enrollment of the tax lien for a finally determined tax liability. For existing tax liens enrolled before July 1, 2025, the department will not be able to take collection actions after July 1, 2035. Additionally, the bill amends the definition of a "doubtful claim" to include tax liens for which the Department of Revenue is prohibited from taking collection actions under the new time limitations. This change affects how certain state and local government debts are categorized and pursued, potentially providing relief for taxpayers by limiting the extended duration of tax collection efforts. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, giving state agencies and taxpayers time to prepare for the new regulations.
