2009 Senate Bill 884

Senate Roll Call 528: Passed

To authorize a delinquent tax payment amnesty period of up to 60 days and ending Dec. 31, 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.
