Item 1

 
assessor denies the final claim for refund in whole or in part, the
taxpayer may request reconsideration of the denial pursuant to
section 151.__For purposes of determining the amount of interest to
be paid on any balance refunded to the taxpayer, the final claim
for refund is considered to be the return listing the overpayment.

 
Sec. 2. 36 MRSA §151, first ¶, as amended by PL 2001, c. 583, §1, is
further amended to read:

 
Any person who is subject to an assessment by the State Tax
Assessor or entitled by law to receive notice of a determination
of the assessor and who is aggrieved as a result of that action
may request in writing, within 30 days after receipt of notice of
the assessment or the determination, reconsideration by the
assessor of the assessment or the determination. If a person
receives notice of an assessment and does not file a request for
reconsideration within the specified time period 30 days after
receipt of notice, the assessor may not reconsider the assessment
pursuant to this section and no review is available in Superior
Court regardless of whether the taxpayer subsequently makes
payment and requests a refund. If a person receives notice of a
denial of refund and does not file a request for reconsideration
within 30 days after receipt of notice, the denial of refund
constitutes final agency action for which no review is available
in Superior Court, and the person may not submit a subsequent
claim for the same refund.
