Summary

Representative Lankford's House Bill 15‑17, which streamlines mineral severance tax reporting and removes a duplicate submission to the comptroller, was approved by the subcommittee and will move to the full Finance Committee after an 11‑0 recorded vote.

Representative Lankford presented House Bill 15‑17 on behalf of the comptroller's office, saying the measure clarifies the annual report due date for mineral severance tax reporting, removes a duplicate submission to the comptroller, and clarifies audit authority. He said there is no fiscal impact associated with the change.
