AI Summary
This bill modifies the process for settling tax disputes with the state, primarily by updating language to reflect the repeal of the state real estate transfer tax act, which was a tax on the sale of real property. The bill makes several technical changes to clarify procedures for taxpayers and the Department of Treasury, such as ensuring that settlement offers and discussions are not admissible as evidence in future legal proceedings and that certain settlement information is exempt from public disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. It also refines the language around when a protest is considered frivolous and the timelines for completing audits and issuing final assessments.
