2004 House Bill 5434 ↩

Senate Roll Call 100: Passed

To prohibit the Department of Treasury from requiring that taxpayers or tax preparers file state income tax returns electronically. This would only be prohibited for 2003 tax year filings. The bill did not gather sufficient votes to gain immediate effect, making its passage moot, since without immediate effect it would not go into effect until 2005. The vote was then reconsidered, and further voting postponed as negotiations between Republican and Democratic lawmakers continue.
