(1) Act 2014-331 was signed into law on April 7, 2014 and becomes effective on July 1, 2014. In accordance with Section 40-1-49, Code of Ala. 1975, as created by this Act, the Department of Revenue, by administrative rule, shall suspend the collection of a tax or fee when the cost of administering the collection of the tax exceeds the total amount of the tax collected for the previous three fiscal years.
