Bill > SB6099

This bill, titled "Providing basic taxpayer fairness by delaying department of revenue action with regard to tax changes until rule making is finalized," aims to protect taxpayers by ensuring they have clear guidance before facing new tax obligations. Specifically, it adds a new section to chapter 82.32 of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) that requires the Department of Revenue to pause any enforcement or collection actions related to tax law changes that increase a taxpayer's liability. This pause will last from the date the tax change is supposed to take effect until the first day of the calendar quarter following the department's completion of the rule-making process for that specific tax change. Rule making refers to the formal process by which government agencies create regulations that explain how laws will be implemented and enforced, providing clarity and detail for affected parties.
