Bill Summary

The purpose of this bill is to eliminate provisions limiting the number of investigators in the criminal investigation division of the Tax Division and provide effective dates.

AI Summary

This bill eliminates the existing limitation on the number of investigators in the criminal investigation division of the Tax Division. Currently, the law restricts the division to no more than twelve investigators, with one serving as division director. By removing this numeric cap, the bill gives the Tax Division more flexibility in staffing its criminal investigation division. The bill maintains the division's core purpose of ensuring compliance with tax laws, particularly for non-resident persons and entities. The bill also adds an effective date provision stating that the changes made during the 2025 Legislative Session will take effect after June 30, 2025. The criminal investigation division will continue to focus on investigating potential tax law violations, with investigators having backgrounds in accounting, law enforcement, or related fields. The bill does not change other existing provisions about the division's responsibilities, powers, or funding sources, which include charitable gaming fees and a special revenue account.
