Panel approves Crawford County levy bill after sponsor corrects bill number
Summary
Representative Jeremiah Moore presented Senate Bill 500 for Representative Brad Hall to ensure a local levy appears on property tax statements in Crawford County; the committee passed the bill by voice vote.
Representative Jeremiah Moore, House District 61, presented Senate Bill 500 as a district-specific measure for Crawford County to address missing levy information on property tax statements.
Moore said the levy in question has existed in his city of Clarendon "since the 18 hundreds" and that including levy amounts on tax statements ensures residents pay the levy with their property taxes during high-water events that the levy helps address. He described the bill as a local measure "for Brad Hall and his community."
There was some administrative confusion on the bill number during the hearing; Moore acknowledged, "I believe we just passed, Senate Bill 5 63 twice. My apologies on that. I'm running Senate Bill 500 for Okay. Representative Brad Hall regarding, local levy district there in Crawford County." After clarifying the correct bill number, Moore closed debate, moved the bill to pass, and the committee approved the motion by voice vote.
The transcript records no public opposition during the hearing. The bill is now cleared from the committee and will continue through the legislative process.
