The Tax Review Commission is charged with the duty to "submit to the Legislature an evaluation of the State's tax structure, recommend revenue and tax policy and then dissolve." The statute implementing the Commission further provides that the Commission "shall conduct a systematic review of the State's tax structure, using such standards as equity and efficiency."
