32.029. Paperless documents and forms act — department to make documents and forms available electronically — limitations. — 1. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "Paperless Documents and Forms Act".
2. Beginning no later than January 1, 2015, the department of revenue shall, by January 1, 2021, develop and implement a method by which all documents and forms provided to the public by the department, as well as any records, reports, returns, or other documents required by the department relating to taxes imposed under chapters 142 , 143 , 144 , and 149 , and fees imposed under sections 260.262 and 260.273 , are available in an electronic format online and are capable of electronic submission to the department.
This section shall not be construed to prohibit the submission of paper forms to the department or to require the department to allow electronic filing of a form that requires a notary or authorization by a third party in order to be effective, or when any other document associated with the form, either expressly or by implication, requires a third party to notarize, authorize, or issue the document. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, no electronic form shall be invalid solely because a paper version of the form has been incorporated or otherwise referenced in a rule.
3. This section shall not authorize the creation of state-run electronic tax filing of individual income tax returns.
