Votes at a glance

- House Bill 15-32 (appropriation for legislative staff): The committee reconvened on HB15-32, reconsidered earlier action, and ultimately recorded a do-not-pass recommendation. The committee's final recorded roll call for the do-not-pass motion was reported in the transcript as 8-5 with 1 absent (numbers reported in the transcript as \"8 5 1\").

- House Bill 15-60 (PRC-related increase): Committee members moved a do-not-pass and the transcript noted the motion was successful with a roll call recorded as \"10 2 2\" in committee remarks (phrase in transcript). The committee recorded the do-not-pass outcome.

- House Bill 15-86 (PRC $5,000 proposal): Representative Van Winkle's bill was the subject of a do-not-pass motion. The committee recorded the do-not-pass motion as carried with the tally reported in the transcript as \"12 1 1.\" The committee noted fiscal and foreclosure-language concerns during debate.

- House Bill 14-35 (code alignment/consent-calendar move): Committee members debated whether the bill conflicts with earlier action; Representative Porter moved a do-not-pass but later the committee voted to move HB14-35 to the consent calendar. The transcript records the motion to move the bill to the consent calendar as carried; committee remarks referenced vote tallies in the transcript (e.g., \"13 0 1 1\").

- House Bill 15-72 and related small bills and study items: Several minor bills and study language items were discussed and, where noted, were set aside for study or amended into other study proposals. The chair directed staff and counsel to incorporate existing study language and to work with representatives for drafting.

Notes on the recorded counts and procedure

All counts and roll-call figures above are presented exactly as recorded or spoken in the committee transcript.

Representative Haggard told the committee he revised allocation language so that the new fund would use the state’s existing highway distribution formulas rather than a newly created formula. During debate members argued about whether the proposal should exclude \"non oil producing\" counties from receiving funds; Representative Porter and others said excluding counties that pay the tax but would not receive proceeds would be unfair. Representative Haggard and others said the bill’s intent was to direct new revenue to local governments rather than the state general fund.

A motion to remove language carving out non oil-producing counties failed on a roll call. The committee then approved Representative Greenheck’s motion for a do pass on House Bill 13-82 as amended. The roll call for the do pass recorded the final tally as 8-5-1 in favor of the amended bill.

Committee members asked staff to ensure the statute cites the correct distribution formulas (the bill as amended points to the highway distribution fund formulas and subsection references were discussed). Representative Haggard said more concise cross-references to existing statute would reduce ambiguity.","The committee amended House Bill 13-82 to use existing highway distribution formulas and approved the amended bill by roll call to move forward.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6342499,"Committee advances broad property-tax reform amendment, sends bill to appropriations",3474,2645000,6119000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2254767-0316af1b6098870f3747128242e74014&start=2645&end=6119","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2254767-0316af1b6098870f3747128242e74014/thumbnail_2645000.jpg","/articles/6342499/North-Dakota/Committee-advances-broad-property-tax-reform-amendment-sends-bill-to-appropriations","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6342499-23de6911b24b26a9da96a7f7d47a00e8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771186558&Signature=Xml2lO-vmMIyxwpuLki7RlMq-n0w5p132OU6cFut1mUS0xTRgXXEcvJCrG9~gMkS08KaQ~oPXaUz81ntQQzsFiRMizOfw-xh3bMSl4K97QiXx4q-29y-37tHZjEVH3Al4o99Gex1DeOHNvqVNHqIp64o68uFQFOO7mrqChr6txREy5o7r2cMXIybZnm6UkhRhlZXaz9TYf0S1QU4LCFUZJFZVMoJ8OxltvLClouTKmxERETCEAeCO9yXykCwPHx~T9i7W0ZUf6TdPM3J1dAkfl6r8uz1Rxk41uNYDiSRYohQFpYJBAAaKH~JJ3QfD~pErOkeJvELO2nbENoPdnGa4w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Finance and Taxation Committee on Oct. 12 adopted a major amendment to House Bill 15-75 that changes assessment rates and expands a homestead credit, then voted to refer the bill to the House Appropriations Committee.

The amendment, offered by Representative Doctor, cuts assessment rates for commercial and agricultural property from 10% to 8.5%, reduces the baseline residential assessment from 9% to 8.5% and creates a larger homestead credit that effectively lowers the primary-residence rate from 9% to 5.5%. Committee members also discussed limits on valuation growth and other mechanics drawn from prior bills cited in committee discussion.

The package includes creation of a legacy earnings fund and a legacy property tax relief fund, changes to renter refund brackets, and caps on taxable-value increases tied to periodic voter approval. Representative Doctor said the amendment mirrors some language from House Bill 11-76 and retains the primary-residence credit structure used in earlier drafts.

Committee members sought clarification about how the changes would apply to multiunit properties, trusts and farm residences. Charles Dende, general counsel for the Office of the State Tax Commissioner, and Shelly Myers, state supervisor of assessments, advised the committee that administration often depends on county parceling and that statutory language must be explicit to produce the intended county administration. Dende noted he needed more time with the latest printed version to answer certain mixed-use examples with “any certainty.” Myers told the committee that under current county software, a single parcel with an owner-occupied duplex receives the primary-residence credit for the whole parcel unless statute or county practice requires different parceling or proration.

The committee approved the amendment in a voice vote that was followed by a roll call showing the amendment passed 12-2. Later, the committee voted to recommend a due pass as amended and to re-refer House Bill 15-75 to Appropriations; the roll call for that motion was recorded 10-4 in favor.

The committee discussion repeatedly flagged administration issues — how counties will classify duplexes, triplexes and other units for primary-residence credits, and whether farm-residence exemptions should be altered. Several members said the language can be fixed with county input or by incorporating language from other pending property-tax bills. Representative Doctor said staff and the counties can work to clarify classification and implementation before final floor action.

The committee also noted the amendment will change the fiscal note and appropriations in the bill; Representative Doctor acknowledged the appropriation amounts will be adjusted.

The committee sent the amended bill to Appropriations for further fiscal review and drafting work on county administration and classification details.","The House Finance and Taxation Committee adopted a package of property-tax changes and homestead credits as an amendment to House Bill 15-75 and recommended the amended bill to the Appropriations Committee.","actionData","errors"]
