§ 7-2H-1. Legislative findings
Status: in_force

A. Native Americans have had a long history of serving their country through active duty in the armed forces of the United States during periods of both war and peace and have made great sacrifices in serving their country through active duty in the military during periods of war and peace.

B. Native American veterans domiciled within the boundaries of their tribal lands or their spouse's tribal lands during their periods of active military service may have been exempt from paying state personal income taxes on their military income, but may have had state personal income taxes withheld from their military income.

C. Native American veterans now are barred by the state statute of limitations from claiming refunds of state personal income taxes that may have been withheld from their military income when they were domiciled within the boundaries of their tribal lands or their spouse's tribal lands during the period of their active military duty, and even if not barred by the statute of limitations, the passage of time extending to decades will make it difficult for many Native American veterans to meet strict standards of proof that they are entitled to a refund of withheld state personal income taxes.

D. It is incumbent upon the state to ensure that it was not unjustly enriched by the withholding of state personal income taxes from Native American veterans who were domiciled within the boundaries of their tribal lands or their spouse's tribal lands during the period of their active military duty, and the state should implement a feasible means of refunding to Native American veterans any state personal income taxes that were withheld from military income while they were domiciled within the boundaries of their tribal lands or their spouse's tribal lands during the period of their active military duty.

B. Nothing in this section requires the establishment of an escrow account if the refunded bonds become due and payable within one year from the date of the refunding bonds and if the amount necessary to retire the refunded bonds within that time is deposited with the paying agent for the refunded bonds.

C. An escrow account shall not be limited to proceeds of refunding bonds but may include other money available for the account's purpose. Any proceeds in escrow may be invested or reinvested in bills, certificates of indebtedness, notes or bonds that are direct obligations of, or the principal and interest of which obligations are unconditionally guaranteed by, the United States.

D. The proceeds and investments in escrow, together with any interest derived from the investment of the escrow account, shall be sufficient to pay principal, interest, any prior redemption premium due and any charges of the escrow agent payable from the escrow account and to pay the bonds being refunded as they become due at their respective maturities or due at any designated prior redemption date on which the board shall exercise a prior redemption option.
