AN ACT CONCERNING STATE AGENCY DETERMINATIONS THAT RESULT IN INCREASED TAX LIABILITY.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:
That the general statutes be amended to (1) prohibit any executive branch agency from making a determination that would result in an increased aggregate tax liability in excess of one hundred thousand dollars without such agency first submitting a proposal for such increase to the legislative committees of the General Assembly having cognizance of the subject matter of such determination, and (2) require each agency to provide notice to any affected party of any potential increase in tax due to such determination in a manner sufficient to allow such party to plan to pay such increase in advance of such increase.
Statement of Purpose:
To prevent executive branch agencies from unilaterally raising taxes on state businesses and other taxpayers without first receiving review and approval from the General Assembly, and to give businesses and other taxpayers sufficient time to adjust their budgets in advance of such increases.
