AI Summary

  • Creates a centralized, state-maintained Tax Execution Registry as a public online database for recording and searching state tax executions, replacing the current county-by-county system of filing on general execution dockets at superior court clerks' offices
  • Requires the registry to be freely accessible to the public via the Internet, searchable by taxpayer name or execution number, and to include details such as amounts owed, tax periods, recording dates, and current balance
  • Establishes four status categories for tax executions in the registry: Active, Withdrawn (issued in error, must be updated within 2 working days), Released (paid in full, must be updated within 15 working days), and Expired
  • Invalidates all state tax executions on county general execution dockets as of January 1, 2017, and requires unsatisfied executions recorded within the prior seven years to be rerecorded on the new registry while retaining their original priority dates
  • Sets a 10-year expiration period for all state tax executions from the date of recording on the registry and prohibits use of registry information for survey, marketing, or solicitation purposes, with the Attorney General authorized to enforce violations
