Legislation almost forced Tax Offices to pay
Special Interest groups led by Impact Alabama sought to pass a new licensing act that would have directly allowed them to use portions of the licensing fees to grow they're own Federally Funded VITA Tax Preparation Offices.
Special interest sought to gain fees from tax industry

One special interest group in Alabama attempted to write their own legislation.  If not for NITPA the special interest would have controlled the entire industry and been able to use proceeds from the licensing fees paid by private tax businesses to help them grown their own federally funded tax operations.  NITPA successfully defeated the Senate Bill in the house ending one of the most fraudulent industry attacks in modern day history.

 Alabama Tax Preparers Bill SB 201 NITPA proposed admendments 
Sunday, 22 February 2009

As noted form early press releases the NITPA is in great concern for the newly proposed Alabama Legislation SB 201.  This bill drastically modifies the lives of nearly everyone of the 4 million Alabama Citizens in the State.  A bill of this size and with such drastic effects would normally be reviewed with additional consideration and more importantly better a better understanding by those through out each of the many districts represented by both the House and the Senate.  The industry is already regulated by (11) federal oversight committees which should give us some comfort that the Alabama Legislators could at least take a little of their time allowing it to be reviewed, understood and explained to the public before it is just past and made into law. 

If your a business owner in your district you should voice an opinion regarding SB201 and at a minimum request to be represented by your districts representative regarding due process and the fact that no legal business should be able to be closed down based on a rumor, especially if such rumor didn't even have to have occurred.
