Senate Bill 526, sponsored by Stevens, proposes an amendment to Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 67-4-718(b), which pertains to taxation. The bill modifies the existing legal language by deleting the term "signed" and replacing it with "signed by the person or the person's authorized representative." This change clarifies who is authorized to sign documents related to taxation, ensuring that both individuals and their representatives are recognized in the legal process.
The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of the amendment for the public welfare. By making this adjustment, the bill aims to streamline the process of tax-related documentation and enhance clarity in legal interpretations regarding signatures.
Statutes affected: Introduced: 67-4-718(b), 67-4-718
