HB258
173440-1:n:02/03/2016:LFO-KF*/bdl HB258 By Representative Scott RFD Financial Services Rd 1
18-FEB-16 SYNOPSIS: Under current law, Certified Public Accountants, Attorneys, and Enrolled
Agents are required to obtain a license or certification in order to prepare tax returns in
Alabama. However, there are few provisions in place to protect consumers against individual
income tax preparers that repeatedly misrepresent information on their tax returns. This legislation
would require certain tax preparers to register with the Department, prior to preparing returns,
which will help regulate services, prohibit unregistered persons from performing said services,
and establish penalties for violators. It would also establish qualifications for registration,
requirements of disclosures to consumers, and exemptions to those obligated to register. The
legislation also establishes an Individual Tax Preparers Fund that will be used to provide
for the cost associated with the administration and...

Rd 1 25-FEB-16 SYNOPSIS: Under existing law, a court may order an allowance up to 50 percent
of the present or future value of retirement benefits of a person to his or her spouse upon
divorce if the parties have been married for at least 10 years and if certain other conditions
are met. Under existing law, when the court orders an allowance of retirement benefits of
one spouse to another upon divorce, no amount is payable until the covered spouse begins to
receive benefits unless the parties agree to a lump sum settlement. This bill would eliminate
the requirement that the parties have been married for 10 years before the court may award
retirement benefits. This bill would allow the court to use any equitable method of valuing,
dividing, or distributing to benefits, but the noncovered spouse could receive no more than
50 percent of the benefits considered by the court. This bill would...
