Committee adds two resident seats to ad valorem advisory committee in favorable report
Summary
House Bill 426 would add two resident/taxpayer members to the state's ad valorem advisory committee to increase lay representation; the committee approved the bill by voice vote.
Representative Sells presented House Bill 426, which adds two Alabama residents (taxpayers) to the state's ad valorem advisory committee. Sells said the advisory group previously was primarily composed of tax professionals and that adding resident members would diversify representation.
"We wanted to make it a little more diverse," Sells said, noting the current committee was "mostly of tax professionals." The committee discussed the rationale briefly and then voted by voice to report the bill favorably; Representative Yarbrough seconded the motion.
Outcome: HB 426 received a favorable report from the State Government Committee by voice vote; no roll‑call tally of individual votes was recorded in the transcript.
