Amend the resolve in section 1 by striking out all of the last paragraph (page 1, lines 13 to 16 in L.D.) and inserting the following:
‘The bureau shall submit its report, along with different proposals for legislation that conforms the State's sales and use tax laws with the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement, to the Joint Standing Committee on Taxation no later than January 15, 2012. The Joint Standing Committee on Taxation may submit a bill relating to the subject matter of the report to the Second Regular Session of the 125th Legislature.’
 
SUMMARY
This amendment changes the resolve by removing the requirement that the legislation proposed by the Department of Administrative and Financial Services, Bureau of Revenue Services conform the State's sales and use tax laws with the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement in a manner that maintains the State's current laws as much as possible. Instead this amendment requires the bureau to offer different proposals for legislation. The amendment authorizes the Joint Standing Committee on Taxation to submit a bill to the Second Regular Session of the 125th Legislature on the report's subject matter.
