1. At a minimum, allow for the adjustment of individual income tax law parameters against an anonymized representative sample of individual income tax returns.

2. Include procedures to protect taxpayer confidentiality under applicable state and federal law.

C. The department shall accept requests from the joint legislative budget committee staff and legislative staff for estimates of the fiscal impact of proposed individual income tax legislation using the individual income tax model.
