The committee shall conduct a thorough review of the tax structure supporting the expenses of state and local governments and schools with a view to making recommendations with respect to that structure that would provide a tax structure that provides the necessary revenues adequately to support the operation of government and public education and that is the most efficient, least regressive, and generally considered to be, fairly imposed. In the conduct of its review and preparation of its report and recommendations, the committee may utilize General Assembly staff and resources, subject to the approval of the President Pro Tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House. Further, members of the committee are requested to make available to the committee such staff support as the State Budget and Control Board and their respective agencies and associations are able to provide. Expenses incurred by the committee must be paid from approved accounts of each House of the General Assembly.
