On February 14, 2012, TEI submitted a letter to the American Bar Association expressing the Institute's strong support for the ABA's Model State Administrative Tax Tribunal Act. TEI has long supported independent state tax tribunals, and the ABA Model Act is consistent with the Institute's Policy Statement on Independent State Tax Tribunals.
The comments were prepared under the aegis of TEI's State and Local Tax Committee, whose chair is Howard E. Grindle. Daniel B. De Jong of the Institute's legal staff coordinated the development of the Institute's comments.
