Summary
The Revenue & Tax panel approved House Bill 1,002.

Senate panel approves House Bill 1,002 following short presentation; transcript records ambiguous tax amount.
Senator Crow presented House Bill 1,002 and described it as identical to the version considered yesterday. In the hearing record Crow stated, “It's increasing the homestead property tax from $4.25 to 500.” The committee did not record public testimony on the bill.
Senator Crow moved for passage; Senator Blake Johnson seconded. The committee used a voice vote and the chair announced the motion passed. The transcript does not include a roll-call or individual vote tallies. The transcript’s numeric phrasing for the tax change is ambiguous; the record does not clarify whether the intended figure is $5.00, $500, or another value. That ambiguity appears in the source transcript and is reported here verbatim.
No amendments, fiscal detail, or supporting testimony were recorded in the transcript. The committee adjourned after completing the item.
