What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill provides that if a production plant that is exempt from property taxes

is decommissioned or closed, and therefore becomes taxable, the county and

municipality where the plant is located receive a utility aid payment for the first five

years in which the plant is subject to the property tax in an amount equal to a

percentage of the utility aid payment that the county or municipality received for the

last year in which the plant was exempt.

Under current law, the amount that a county and municipality receive as a

utility aid payment for a decommissioned plant is reduced by the amount of property

taxes that the plant owner paid during the year in which the county and municipality

receive the payment.
