For the purpose of encouraging the voluntary disclosure and payment of taxes owed to this state, the Oklahoma Tax Commission is hereby authorized and directed to establish a tax amnesty program during which penalties and one-half interest due on delinquent taxes assessed by the Tax Commission and imposed pursuant to the provisions of Title 68 of the Oklahoma Statutes and the Oklahoma Alcoholic Beverage Control Act shall be waived, except as provided herein. The amnesty program shall not include any penalties or interest that may have been assessed pursuant to the Ad Valorem Tax Code or the Motor Vehicle Excise Tax Code or penalties or interest assessed by an agency other than the Tax Commission. A taxpayer shall be entitled to a waiver of penalty and one-half interest due on taxes which are delinquent prior to August 15, 2002, if the taxpayer voluntarily files delinquent tax returns and pays the taxes and remaining interest due during the amnesty period. The amnesty period shall extend from August 15, 2002, through November 15, 2002. The waiver of penalties and one-half interest shall apply to:
1. The under-reporting of tax liabilities;
2. The nonpayment of taxes; and
3. The nonreporting of tax liabilities.
The Tax Commission shall promulgate rules detailing the terms and other conditions of this program.
The Tax Commission is authorized to expend necessary available funds to publicly advertise this program and shall be exempt from the provisions of Section 85.7 of Title 74 for the purpose of implementing this section.
