Bill > S1570

This bill aims to increase transparency for taxpayers by requiring the commissioner of revenue to make draft statements available to all taxpayers on the department's website and provide paper copies upon request by October 15th of each year. Before finalizing these statements, the commissioner must hold at least one public hearing to gather public input by December 31st. The bill also mandates that copies of the finalized statement be sent to the House and Senate Committees on Ways and Means and the Joint Committee on Revenue by the last Wednesday of January annually, and distributed to any taxpayer contacted by the commissioner regarding tax determination or collection, excluding those only receiving tax forms, with measures to prevent duplicate mailings.
