History: Laws 2018, ch. 77, § 1; 2021, ch. 59, § 5.
The 2021 amendment, effective June 18, 2021, made conforming changes due to the transfer of certain authority to the department of transportation, and removed a provision authorizing the taxation and revenue department to revoke the border crossing special fuel user permit of a special fuel user found to have violated the Special Fuels Supplier Tax Act; after each occurrence of "department", added "of transportation" throughout; and deleted former Subsection C and redesignated former Subsection D as Subsection C.
