HB 27-MUNI PROP TAX EXEMPTION FOR POLICE HOMES CO-CHAIR THOMAS announced that the final order of business would be HOUSE BILL NO. 27, "An Act relating to an optional exemption from municipal property taxes on certain residences of law enforcement officers." [Before the committee is CSHB 27, Version 24-LS0182\F, Cook, 2/14/05.] 8:32:29 AM REPRESENTATIVE MAX GRUENBERG, Alaska State Legislature, prime co-sponsor, reviewed the differences between the proposed committee substitute (CS), Version F, and the original legislation. On page 1, line 8, the language, "primary permanent place of abode" was inserted in order to address the primary place that the law enforcement officer lives. The language on page 1, lines 8-10, specifies that no more than two exemptions for the same property are allowed. The legislation specifies that the ordinance can specify [that the eligible area] falls into one or more of the categories listed on page 2. Representative Gruenberg related that Chief Monegan, Anchorage Police Department, was planning on testifying in support of HB 27, although he may be in court at this time. He related his understanding that there is a plan to offer an amendment to raise the exemption from "$10,000" to "$150,000", which he said he would support. 8:35:36 AM REPRESENTATIVE KOTT moved that the committee adopt Amendment 1 [labeled 24-LS0182\F.1, Cook, 3/1/05], which read: Page 1, line 6: Delete "$10,000" Insert "$150,000" REPRESENTATIVE KOTT stated that Amendment 1 would make the proposed exemption in HB 27 conform to existing municipal ordinances providing property tax exemptions for senior citizens and disabled veterans. There being no objection, Amendment 1 was adopted. 8:36:33 AM REPRESENTATIVE GRUENBERG noted that the committee packet should include a resolution from Mountain View Community Council. 8:36:42 AM REPRESENTATIVE KOTT moved to report CSHB 27, Version 24- LS0182\F, Cook, 2/14/05, as amended, out of committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal notes. There being no objection, CSHB 27(CRA) was reported from the House Community and Regional Affairs Standing Committee.
