• Introduced by Rep. George Cushingberry (D) on September 17, 2009, to authorize a 30 day delinquent tax payment amnesty period ending Dec. 15, 2009, during which all criminal and civil penalties would be waived for having in the past failed to file or pay income or other state tax, or for making an excessive claim for a refund. To get the waiver a taxpayer would have to make full payment of the tax and interest due, either in a lump sum or through an installment plan. If back taxes are not paid during this period, a 25 percent penalty would be tacked on to the balance.
  • Referred to the House Tax Policy Committee on September 17, 2009.
