HB 13-MUNICIPAL SERVICE AREAS CO-CHAIR BUNDE announced that the only order of business before the committee would be HOUSE BILL NO. 13, "An Act relating to municipal service areas and providing for voter approval of the formation, alteration, or abolishment of certain service areas." [Before the committee are CSSSHB 13(JUD) and SCS CSSSHB 13(RLS).] CO-CHAIR BUNDE informed the committee that it is charged with obtaining agreement on HB 13, which led to discussion involving an amendment. This amendment would require a conference committee with limited powers of free conference. After talking with Tam Cook, Director, Legal and Research Services Division, Legislative Affairs Agency, it was determined that the committee can request limited powers of free conference and make an agreement pending those powers being granted. CO-CHAIR BUNDE pointed out that the amendment is as follows: Page 2, line 29, following "tax zone": Insert "that exceed the amount that would have otherwise been levied" That language means that the differential taxes would stay within the zone where they were levied. He asked if that was clear to the committee. Number 0163 SENATOR THERRIAULT related his understanding that the intent is that taxes generated boroughwide are accounted for separately and on top of that there are service areas that have a mill rate that is service areawide and accounted for separately. The differential zone would be one more that would also be accounted for separately. CO-CHAIR BUNDE explained that the money raised in a [differential zone] beyond the basic rate would remain in that [differential zone] and wouldn't be used elsewhere. Number 0253 SENATOR THERRIAULT moved that the committee request limited powers of free conference. Contingent upon those powers being granted, the committee [agreed] it would adopt the amended language mentioned earlier. There being no objection, the motion carried. CO-CHAIR BUNDE instructed committee members to sign the following forms: one requesting limited powers of free conference with the aforementioned contingency, one requesting [limited powers of free conference], and one adopting [the aforementioned amendment] in case it is needed. ADJOURNMENT  There being no further business before the committee, the Conference Committee on HB 13 meeting was adjourned at 7:56 a.m.
