Summary
The bill changes the rules for payments made to the state under protest, giving the payer up to 30 days to file a lawsuit and requiring the money to stay in a "litigated claims fund" until a court decides the case. It applies to taxpayers, public accountants who receive the payments, and the state agencies involved. The change aims to stop the state from keeping disputed money without a judicial ruling.
