AI Summary
This bill authorizes the tax administrator, who is the state official responsible for collecting taxes, to waive all interest and penalties on delinquent taxes if the full amount owed is paid within a specific one-week period, known as a tax amnesty period, which the tax administrator will determine each year. Furthermore, if a driver's license was suspended because of unpaid taxes, this bill mandates that the license will be reinstated, along with all its associated privileges, once the delinquent taxes are paid in full under this amnesty program. The bill also specifies that it will become law immediately upon being passed.
