SB 717 - This act requires a no tax due statement as a prerequisite for issuance of any state or local business license. A no tax due statement will also be required in order to receive payments from the state legal defense fund. The director of the Department of Revenue may enter into agreements, with state agencies responsible for issuing business and occupation licenses, in which such agencies may submit the names of applicants for business and occupation licenses to be verified by the department of revenue as having no tax due. Tax delinquencies may result in suspension of business licenses. JASON ZAMKUS
