County seeks to provide written testimony on HB 2396 and other bills; commissioners to coordinate testimony
Summary
Assistant County Manager Tonya Cole briefed the commission on legislative deadlines and requested the county provide written testimony and an in-person or Zoom witness for Senate hearings on House Bill 2396 (property tax language) and HCR 5011 (6-year rolling average); Commissioner Howe offered to testify on a juvenile offender bill.
Assistant County Manager Tonya Cole updated commissioners on the legislative calendar and recent bill activity, noting deadlines for committee meetings and nonexempt bills and the start dates for conference committees and veto session. She requested the commission identify who will provide oral testimony and to approve written testimony on House Bill 2396 (property tax language and related bond/election language) and HCR 5011 (the six-year rolling average calculation).
Cole said the county had provided suggested amendments and would need to submit written testimony by the committee deadline and arrange for an in-person or Zoom witness for the Senate hearing next week. Commissioner Howe volunteered to testify on a juvenile offender bill on general orders, and commissioners directed staff to prepare an accompanying letter to the testimony.
The commission agreed it should register a stated interest in property tax discussions and coordinate testimony and accompanying materials with legislative staff.
