Specifically: (1) Section 1 of this Act increases public transparency and clarifies that any officer or employee of the Department, or employee of this State who has access to tax returns or information from tax returns, may disclose information that appeared on the face of an expired license previously required to be displayed under § 2109 of Title 30. (2) Sections 2 and 3 of this Act define a trust fund tax, lists current trust fund tax types, and updates Title 30 to align all assessment and collection timelines for trust fund tax types.

(4) Section 5 of this Act updates Title 30 regarding the notice of finality as it relates to trust fund taxes. (5) Section 6 of this Act modifies the filing due date for all 1099 forms to January 31 following the close of the taxpayer’s taxable year.
