The bill amends section 42-1008 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which pertains to the department of revenue. The current law prohibits employees of the department from preparing or assisting in the preparation of any tax return for compensation, whether for federal, state, or local governments. A violation of this provision results in immediate discharge.

The new bill language replaces the term "discharge" with "dismissal," maintaining the prohibition against employees preparing tax returns for compensation but updating the terminology used for the consequence of violating this rule.
