1. The courts of this state shall recognize and enforce liabilities for income taxes lawfully imposed by any other state which extends a like comity to this state, and the duly authorized officer of any such state may sue for the collection of such a tax in the courts of this state. A certificate by the secretary of state of such other state that an officer suing for the collection of such a tax is duly authorized to collect the tax shall be conclusive proof of such authority. For the purposes of this section, the word “taxes” shall include additions to tax, interest, and penalties, and liability for such taxes, additions to tax, interest, and penalties shall be recognized and enforced by the courts of this state to the same extent that the laws of such other states permit the enforcement in its courts of liability for such taxes, additions to tax, interest, and penalties due to this state under sections 143.011 to 143.996.

2. For the purposes of this section, the term “any other state” shall mean only another state of the United States or a political subdivision thereof or the District of Columbia. The courts of this state shall not entertain any action for the enforcement or collection of income taxes imposed by any foreign sovereign state or political subdivision thereof.
