MINOR
This bill expands the Tax Commissioner's authority to disclose taxpayer information when requested by legislative leaders, allowing them to share details about tax incentives claimed by individuals or businesses. The change strengthens legislative oversight by enabling the Tax Commissioner to reveal the amounts of tax deductions, credits, or exemptions claimed, while still protecting taxpayer names and other confidential data. The bill also clarifies that this authority applies retroactively to tax incentives granted after December 31, 2024.
Scope change
The bill's scope was expanded from an effective date of July 31, 2025 to retroactive application for tax incentives claimed or granted after December 31, 2024, and the disclosure authority was broadened to include requests from any standing committee chairman, not just the legislative management chairman.
TIMELINE

Changed the effective date from July 31, 2025 to retroactive application for tax incentives granted after December 31, 2024.

REQUIREMENT

Added authority for the Tax Commissioner to disclose tax incentive amounts upon written request from the chairman of any standing committee, not just the legislative management chairman.

TECHNICAL

Changed the section title from 'EFFECTIVE DATE' to 'RETROACTIVE APPLICATION' to reflect the new application timeline.
