Where it stands

House: CONCURRED · Senate: PASSED/ADOPTED

Every floor vote on this bill was a voice or division vote, so there is no record of how individual legislators voted.

A bill goes on the consent calendar when the committee vote was unanimous or nearly so, and any members who dissented did not object to placing it there. It then passes without floor debate. Ten members may file a petition to pull a bill off the consent calendar and have it debated and voted on separately.

Committee — OUGHT TO PASS

Rep. David Walker

This bill corrects a problem that happened in 2023 and 2024 when many charitable organizations failed to get their annual applications for the charitable exemption in on time causing the hardship of making their property to become taxable. This bill allows charitable organizations to file their application once every five years. Assessors shall be required to field review qualifying properties annually to ensure that the property is still being used for the purpose that it was exempted. Additionally, the charitable exemption application process will be in-line with all the other personal exemptions. Vote 17-0.
