Summary: The Ways and Means Committee met on March 26 and first reported favorably HB 287, which extends the Louisiana Tax Commission fee authority used to fund property assessment operations. The committee then adopted an amendment and reported HB 553 favorably as amended; the bill expands the Assessor Certification Program Committee and adjusts education requirements for assessor certification and recertification. Several other bills were announced as deferred or not heard, including HB 440, HB 543, and later HB 515. The committee spent substantial time on HB 412, a constitutional amendment by Rep. DeWitt that would change property tax assessment rules. After adopting an amendment striking the bill’s proposed 30-year homestead exemption, members questioned the remaining provisions that would tie property tax growth to the Consumer Price Index and move the reassessment cycle from four years to five. Assessors, the Tax Commission, and local government representatives testified that current law already provides appeal processes and other “circuit breakers,” and they raised concerns that the proposal could leave many properties taxed below market value and shift burdens to businesses or local budgets. Rep. DeWitt ultimately voluntarily deferred HB 412, along with HB 340. The committee then heard HB 514 and HB 961, both related to additional property tax relief for seniors age 65 and older and certain trusts. HB 514 would have created an optional local senior exemption phased in over time, but after discussion it was voluntarily deferred; HB 961, a companion measure extending eligibility to certain trusts, was also amended and deferred. The committee next reported HB 521 favorably after debate over a constitutional change that would remove the current mandate requiring taxing authorities to roll millages forward to the maximum authorized rate every reassessment cycle. Supporters, including local government and industry groups, argued the change would give parishes more flexibility and reduce pressure to overtax; the bill was reported favorably. Finally, the committee took up HB 570, another millage-related measure by Rep. Wilder. After adopting a six-part amendment set, including a technical change clarifying when a separate ordinance or resolution is required for an increased millage rate, the committee reported HB 570 favorably as amended. The meeting ended after the chair noted the agenda was complete and the committee adjourned.
