  • Agencies must consolidate forms, applications, and documents to eliminate duplicate information submissions by taxpayers upon joint determination of need and legislative appropriation.

  • Establishes legislative findings that California's three-agency tax administration system creates complexity and inefficiencies for taxpayers who must interact with multiple departments.

  • Directs agencies to focus information technology efforts on creating a unified, taxpayer-focused system that appears as a single organization while maintaining separate agency operations.
