                     STATEMENT  OF  PURPOSE

                            RS 14439

Current Idaho statutes authorize the State Tax Commission to collect
tax assessments by "levy and distraint" (seizure) of property. 
However, the law does not specify the manner in which the Commission
must give notice to taxpayers or holders of property subject to
seizure.  This bill provides the manner in which notice can be
given.  

Subsection (1) allows three options:
  1.  Notice in person, 
  2.  Notice at the dwelling place or usual place of business, or
  3.  Notice by certified mail to the person's last known address.
    
These options conform to the federal law provisions governing the
IRS.

Subsection (2) clarifies that by agreement with the party receiving
the notice the State Tax Commission may give the notice
electronically, in conformity with the Uniform Electronic
Transactions Act. 


                         FISCAL  IMPACT

Additional $100,000 in collection of tax due but unpaid.
