AI Summary
This bill authorizes the tax administrator, who is the state official responsible for collecting taxes, to waive all interest and penalties on overdue 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. This amnesty program is part of the Rhode Island Tax Amnesty Act of 2017. Additionally, if a driver's license was suspended because of unpaid taxes, it will be reinstated with all its privileges once the delinquent taxes are paid in full under this amnesty provision. The bill will become law immediately upon being passed.
