  §  3016.  Notice  to person liable to pay tax. Before the commissioner
collects any tax by levy, the commissioner shall give prominent  written
notice  to  the  person liable to pay the same that, in like manner as a
judgment creditor, the department has  certain  rights  to  enforce  the
warrant by levying upon real and personal property of the taxpayer. Such
statement shall be made in clear and concise language readily comprehen-
sible  to the average reader and shall be set off from any other text or
notice. THE COMMISSIONER SHALL PROVIDE  SUCH  NOTICE  BY  REGISTERED  OR
CERTIFIED  MAIL  TO  THE PERSON'S LAST KNOWN ADDRESS, UNLESS THE COMMIS-
SIONER CANNOT ASCERTAIN THE PERSON'S LAST KNOWN ADDRESS THROUGH  REASON-
ABLE DILIGENCE.
  §  2. This act shall take effect on the first of January next succeed-
ing the date upon which it shall have become a law and  shall  apply  to
tax years commencing on or after such date.



 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
