Senate committee deletes erroneous homestead-exemption paragraph from House Bill 439
Summary
The committee approved a substitute to House Bill 439 (LC 47 42 54 S) removing an incorrect paragraph about an $18,000 homestead exemption; the procedural fix passed by voice vote and the bill will move forward with the corrected language.
The Senate Finance Committee approved a technical change to House Bill 439, removing a paragraph that incorrectly referenced an $18,000 homestead exemption.
The committee heard the substitute (LC 47 42 54 S) and, after brief explanation from the chair, Senator Tillery moved to delete the paragraph; Senator Albers seconded. The change was adopted by voice vote and recorded as unanimous.
The amendment was presented as a clerical correction to ensure the bill’s language matched legislative intent; no public testimony was offered on the item. The chair said the committee would proceed with the corrected substitute and move the bill forward to its next legislative step.
No further details or substantive policy changes were introduced during the discussion; the action was limited to excising the single paragraph and confirming the correct LC number for the version that will proceed.
