§ 3.192 — Requirements for New or Renewed Tax Expenditures

Plain-Language Summary

Within 60 days after final enactment of a bill that creates, renews, or continues a tax expenditure, the chairs of the house and senate tax committees must submit a statement of objective to the Tax Expenditure Review Commission, clearly stating the expenditure's purpose and a standard or goal against which its effectiveness can be measured. In addition, any bill that creates a new tax expenditure or continues an expiring one must include an expiration date no more than eight years from the day the provision takes effect.

Practical Notes
The 60-day statement-of-objective requirement applies to the chairs of the house and senate committees with primary jurisdiction over taxes. “Tax expenditure” has the meaning given in section 270C.11, subdivision 6, and the Tax Expenditure Review Commission is the commission established under section 3.8855. The eight-year expiration-date requirement is a separate, mandatory condition on the bill itself.
