Summary
State Rep. Lane Jean presented Senate Bill 573 to clarify definitions used in assessing oil and gas equipment; the committee heard no opposition and moved the bill forward by voice vote.
State Representative Lane Jean, District 99, told a House committee that Senate Bill 573 is “strictly definitions on assessment of oil and gas equipment,” and asked the panel to approve the language.
The bill would add or clarify definitions used in assessing oil- and gas-related equipment, Lane Jean said; he told the committee the coordinating assessment board and local assessors have “no known opposition.”
Committee members had no substantive questions. Lane Jean closed debate and “make[d] a motion to pass.” The committee approved the motion by voice vote.
The bill’s supporters described it as a technical change limited to assessment definitions rather than a substantive change in tax policy. No opponents registered during the committee hearing recorded in the transcript.
With the committee’s voice approval, the bill will proceed through the legislative process per standard committee procedures.
