WHEREAS, there are indications of extensive infractions of the Delaware tax laws by vendors and more particularly non-resident vendors, who do business within the State of Delaware; and

WHEREAS, it is difficult to ascertain those vendors doing business with many State agencies and to insure enforcement of the Delaware tax laws appertaining thereto, it is hereby resolved that all State agencies and all other persons expending public funds shall submit a list of the recipients of said public funds or creditors of the State of Delaware, other than employees, with whom said agencies have done business during the fiscal year 1971, to the Director of Revenue of the Department of Finance on or before July 31, 1971.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that such lists shall designate the name of each vendor together with his individual Social Security number or firm Federal Employers Identification number on forms specified by the Director of Revenue of the Department of Finance. Such forms shall be provided to the several State agencies on or before June 30, 1971.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this resolution shall not be a substitute for any existing laws or regulations requiring tax clearance by the Division of Revenue of the Department of Finance of all State agency expenditures exceeding $2,000.00.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Department of Finance shall take appropriate action to collect all taxes due and owing the State of Delaware in connection herewith and further provide a list of all persons and corporations found delinquent in tax payments or in non-compliance with any laws or regulations connected herewith, to each member of the Legislature. This list shall be furnished on or before November 30, 1971.
