HELENA — The House Taxation Committee on Tuesday amended and concurred in Senate Bill 289 on a series of voice votes and then approved the bill as amended by a 21-0 vote.

SB 289, presented to the committee during executive action, is described on the record as “an act providing for county notification by the Department of Revenue for certain proposed property tax adjustments.” Committee members adopted two amendments (identified in committee as 289.1.3 and 289.1.1) by voice vote before moving the bill as twice amended.

After the amendments were adopted, committee members voted to concur in the bill as amended. The committee then selected Representative Walter Durham to carry the measure to the floor.

Committee clerks recorded a final tally of 21 ayes and no nays. Several members registered proxy votes during the roll call process; the committee clerk announced the total at the conclusion of the vote.

The transcript records only the short title and amendment numbers and does not quote detailed text of the amendments or the bill language during executive action; committee staff and the sponsor will supply amendment text and the bill draft for the official record as it moves forward.
