(a) A licensed supplier or licensed permissive supplier may make a blanket election with the department to treat all removals of petroleum products from its out-of-state terminals, with a destination in this state shown on the terminal issued shipping paper, as if such removals of gasoline were imported and came to rest in Tennessee, and removals of petroleum products other than gasoline were removed across the terminal rack in this state, for taxation purposes under part 2 of this chapter. (b) This notice of election shall be made on forms provided by the department. (c) The department shall release a list of electing suppliers under subsection (b) upon request by any person. Disclosure of this information by the department shall not constitute a violation of any confidentiality requirement imposed by chapter 1, part 17 of this title. (d) The absence of an election by a supplier under this section shall not relieve the supplier of responsibility for remitting the taxes and fees imposed by this chapter. However, the responsibility of the supplier shall be limited to the supplier's own imports into this state. (e) Any supplier who makes the election provided by this section shall precollect the taxes and fees imposed by this chapter on all removals from a qualified out-of-state terminal on its account without regard to: (1) The license status of the person acquiring the petroleum product from such supplier; (2) The point or terms of sale; or (3) The character of delivery. (f) Each supplier who elects to precollect taxes and fees under this section agrees to waive any defense that the state lacks jurisdiction to require collection on all out-of-state sales by such person, where such person had knowledge that such shipments were destined for this state. Such supplier also agrees to waive any defense to the state's assertion of its general police powers to regulate the movement of petroleum products.
