Impact
This bill seeks to enhance the effectiveness of tax collection by enabling the Department of Revenue Services to establish clearer, more consistent criteria. By defining the requirements for offers of compromise, the bill can facilitate more fair negotiations between the state and individuals or businesses facing tax liabilities. As a result, taxpayers may find it easier to settle their debts with the state, potentially leading to improved revenue collection for state coffers.
