What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill eliminates the personal property tax in 2018. Under the bill,

improvements on leased land will be assessed as real property.

Under current law, taxing jurisdictions are reimbursed by the state for the loss

of personal property tax revenue as a result of the exemption for computers and

computer-related equipment. Under the bill, taxing jurisdictions are reimbursed by

the state for the loss of personal property tax revenue.

Because this bill relates to an exemption from state or local taxes, it may be

referred to the Joint Survey Committee on Tax Exemptions for a report to be printed

as an appendix to the bill.
