The State Tax Assessor shall administer the initiatives. The short-term initiative applies to tax liabilities that are assessed as of December 31, 2009 and interest and penalties subsequently assessed on such tax liabilities. The 5-year initiative applies to tax liabilities that were assessed as of June 30, 2005 and interest and penalties subsequently assessed on such tax liabilities. A taxpayer may participate in the initiatives without regard to whether the amount due is subject to a pending administrative or judicial proceeding. Participation in the initiatives is conditioned upon the taxpayer's agreement to forgo or withdraw a protest or an administrative or judicial proceeding with regard to liabilities paid under the initiatives and not to claim a refund of money paid under the initiatives. These initiatives are available to a taxpayer if the taxpayer:
