| Draft proposal number 1 to create a pilot project | PASS |
02:39 PM -- Task Force Discussion
Representative Kraft-Tharp made remarks concerning next steps and the bill drafting process. She reminded the task force of the rule that only legislative members of the task force may vote to request that bill requests be drafted.
02:42 PM -- Proposal #1
Representative Sias proposed a bill or resolution idea to create a process for a pilot project that would include:
- a standardized process for geolocation;
- a single point of remittance;
- a single place for licensure; and
- a standardized tax form.
This would allow home rule municipalities to retain control over:
- the municipality's tax base;
- the municipality's definitions;
- the municipality's audit power; and
- the municipality's access to aggregate raw data.
Task force discussion ensued regarding including a tax matrix in the pilot; potentially working with one vendor for the pilot; potentially obtaining a request for information (RFI) or request for quote (RFQ) prior to undertaking a pilot project; who would issue the RFI; ensuring that the state, home rule and statutory cities, and businesses are all included in the pilot; which entity would fund the pilot; defining how the success of the pilot would be measured; and other aspects of the proposed pilot.
