Lawmaker touts HB 9 as a $3.5 billion statewide property tax relief plan
Summary
The speaker said HB 9 would have supplied $3.5 billion in property tax relief statewide, described filing that bill and others, and complained they did not receive hearings in the legislature.
A Republican lawmaker said he/she filed HB 9 and other bills intended to provide property tax relief, claiming that 'HB 9 ... would have provided $3,500,000,000 of property tax relief statewide.' The lawmaker said Republican proposals have not received hearings amid a Democratic supermajority and criticized what was described as the governor's limited action on reform.
