HB 347-PROPERTY ASSESSMENT 8:03:33 AM CHAIR MCCORMICK announced that the first order of business would be HOUSE BILL NO. 347, "An Act relating to assessment of property, boards of equalization, and certification of assessors; and providing for an effective date." [Before the committee, adopted as the working document on 3/12/24, was the proposed committee substitute (CS) for HB 347, Version 33- LS1430\B, Dunmire, 3/8/24 ("Version B").] 8:03:57 AM JULIE COULOMBE, Alaska State Legislature, prime sponsor, stated that the bill would help communities by providing a path of fairness and transparency around property assessment by setting standards, ensuring that assessors have proper experience and certification, and giving property owners a fair shake in challenging their assessments. 8:04:42 AM CHAIR MCCORMICK invited Ms. Moller to speak to the bill. 8:05:03 AM SANDRA MOLLER, Director, Division of Community & Regional Affairs, Department of Commerce, Community, & Economic Development (DCCED), noted that the bill would affect local assessors, not the state assessor. She made herself available for questions. 8:06:17 AM CHAIR MCCORMICK moved to adopt Amendment 1 to Version B, labeled 33-LS1430\B.1, Dunmire, 3/18/24, which read: Page 2, following line 9: Insert a new bill section to read: "* Sec. 4. AS 29.45.180(a) is amended to read: (a) A person receiving an assessment notice shall advise the assessor of errors or omissions in the assessment of the person's property. If requested by the person, the assessor shall meet with the person and answer reasonable questions relating to the methods used to assess the person's property. The assessor may correct errors or omissions in the roll before the board of equalization hearing." Renumber the following bill sections accordingly. Page 3, line 3: Delete "Section 6" Insert "Section 7" Page 3, line 4: Delete "sec. 7" Insert "sec. 8" REPRESENTATIVE MCCABE objected. 8:06:54 AM REPRESENTATIVE COULOMBE explained that Amendment 1 would provide an opportunity for the assessor and taxpayer to resolve a dispute before bringing it to the Board of Equalization. REPRESENTATIVE MCCABE said he appreciated Amendment 1 and hoped that it would be seen in the spirit in which it is intended, which is to allow the assessor's office to be servants of the people. 8:08:36 AM REPRESENTATIVE MCCABE removed his objection. There being no further objection, Amendment 1 was adopted. 8:08:50 AM REPRESENTATIVE RUFFRIDGE said he would not be offering Amendment 2 or Amendment 3 at this time. 8:09:27 AM REPRESENTATIVE MCCABE moved to report CSHB 347, Version 33- LS1430\B, Dunmire, 3/8/24, as amended, out of committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal notes. There being no objection, CSHB 347(CRA) was reported from the House Community and Regional Affairs Standing Committee.
