1 31 The department of revenue and finance on or before
1 32 January 31 of the calendar year following the calendar
1 33 year in which the tax returns were filed shall certify
1 34 the total amount designated on the tax return forms
1 35 due in the preceding calendar year and shall report
1 36 the amount to the treasurer of state.
1 37 The department of revenue and finance shall consult

1 49 applies retroactively to January 1, 2001, for tax
1 50 years beginning on or after that date and shall be
