    The Director of the Division of Taxation shall prepare and transmit to the Governor and the Legislature, on or before October 1, 1986 and on or before October 1 annually thereafter, a report concerning the taxation of property transfers under the transfer inheritance tax, R.S. 54:34-1 et seq., in such a manner as to facilitate an evaluation of the comparability of this State's inheritance tax structure to selected other states.  The report shall also include a statistical analysis of the number and value of estates, by gross estate value and taxable estate value, for each class of transfer, displayed in increments of value corresponding to the tax rate schedule in R.S. 54:34-2 for transfers made through June 30 of the immediately preceding fiscal year, that will enable an evaluation of the tax liability for gross and taxable estates.  The report shall identify the number, value, and tax reduction on estates for the immediately preceding fiscal year, as a result of the change in exemptions applicable to transfers made in that year.  The director shall include in the report such observations and recommendations as he shall deem appropriate concerning the taxation of property transfers under the inheritance tax, R.S. 54:34-1 et seq.  In addition, the report to be transmitted on or before October 1, 1986 shall include observations concerning the equity of tax liabilities for transfers within the same class, specifically, but not limited to, the relationship between siblings under a broad range of circumstances.
