Summary

Senate Bill 850's committee substitute creates a uniform 60-day timeline for issuing property tax refunds; the committee adopted the substitute and reported it to the full Senate by unanimous vote.

The Senate Committee on Local Government adopted a committee substitute to Senate Bill 850 that establishes a uniform 60-day timeline for issuing property tax refunds, the sponsor said.

Senator Middleton told the committee the substitute harmonizes dates based on consultations with tax assessor-collectors and makes the refund timeline a uniform 60 days.

The committee adopted the substitute without objection; the roll call was recorded as six ayes and no nays. The committee then reported the substitute to the full Senate and recommended the bill for the local and uncontested calendar.

The substitute focuses on timing for refunds and does not alter other property-tax procedures in the sponsor’s explanation at the hearing.
