(a) Release of levy. It shall be lawful for the commissioner or his delegate to release the levy, and any liens, upon all or part of the property or rights to property levied upon, where the commissioner or his delegate, within their discretion, determines that such action will facilitate the collection of the liability or for other good reason that the levy should be released, but such release shall not operate to prevent any subsequent levy.

(1) The specific property levied upon;
(2) An amount of money equal to the amount of money levied upon; or

(c) Interest. Interest shall be allowed and paid at an annual rate established by law:
(1) In a case described in subsection (b)(2), from the date the commissioner receives the money to a date (to be determined by the commissioner) preceding the date of return by not more than 30 days; or
