AI Summary

This bill aims to equalize the interest rates charged by the Department of Revenue (DOR) on unpaid taxes. The bill amends the existing law to set the interest rate at the federal short-term rate, as determined under the Internal Revenue Code, plus 2 percentage points, calculated as simple interest. This change ensures that the DOR's interest rate is consistent, regardless of whether the taxpayer owes additional taxes or the DOR owes a refund to the taxpayer.
