History: P.A. 81-64 amended Subsec. (5) to include a minimum penalty of $50; P.A. 88-314 deleted the description of
applicable penalties in Subsec. (5) because these penalty provisions are provided for in Secs. 12-415 and 12-416 respectively, effective July 1, 1988, and applicable to any tax which first becomes due and payable on or after said date, to any
return or report due on or after said date, or in the case of any ongoing obligation imposed in accordance with said act, to
the tax period next beginning on or after said date; P.A. 91-236 provided for 60, rather than 30, days to request a reassessment,
effective July 1, 1991, and applicable to taxes due on or after that date; P.A. 99-121 made technical changes and added
provisions re deadline for filing a petition for reassessment where jeopardy assessment has been made, effective June 3,
1999; P.A. 00-174 added references to Secs. 12-414a and 12-424, allowing successors and officers to petition for reassessment, effective July 1, 2000, and applicable to assessments made on or after that date.
