A taxpayer shall be entitled to a waiver of penalty, interest and other collection fees due if the taxpayer voluntarily files delinquent tax returns and pays the taxes due during the initiative.

D. The Tax Commission shall promulgate rules detailing the terms and other conditions of this program.
E. The Tax Commission shall develop and distribute a fact sheet explaining responsibilities regarding the reporting and payment of use taxes and how business entities can examine their records to establish the use tax due on purchases from out-of-state sellers. The Tax Commission shall make the fact sheet available on the Oklahoma Tax Commission’s website, mail to targeted industries, existing licensees, and all Tax Commission license applicants.
F. The Tax Commission is authorized to expend necessary available funds, including contracting with third parties, to publicly advertise the Consumer Compliance Initiative and shall be exempt from the provisions of Section 85.7 of Title 74 of the Oklahoma Statutes for the purpose of implementing this section.
