ACTC Legislative Comments Policy Statement
As part of its mission to improve the nation’s tax laws and the way that they are interpreted and administered, the American College of Tax Counsel, with regard to tax legislation that is introduced, or otherwise pending or proposed (“Pending Tax Legislation”), provides comments (“Legislative Comments”) to (1) the Federal government and (2) multistate bodies engaged in considering or adopting model state tax legislation or state agencies or legislatures that request public comment. The Legislative Comments Committee of the College makes the initial determination of whether to comment on Pending Tax Legislation, which must be approved by the Board of Regents. A lead drafter together with a working group is then selected to draft the Legislative Comments, which are then reviewed and approved by the Legislative Comments Committee. The Board of Regents must then approve the Legislative Comments before they are submitted to the appropriate body. Any Legislative Comments proposed by ACTC on Pending Tax Legislation do not necessarily reflect the views of all Fellows of the College, all members of the Legislative Comments Committee, or all members of the Board of Regents.
Any questions about the ACTC Legislative Comments Policy Statement may be directed to the Chair of the Legislative Comments Committee (the Immediate Past President of ACTC), or any Officer of the College and can be sent via the following link: https://www.actconline.org/governance/.
