The House Finance and Tax Committee voted to amend and recommend a due‑pass for House Bill 1572, an omnibus tax measure containing multiple reforms including park district levy limits, a uniform taxing‑district reporting requirement and a reinstatement of a legislative tax reform and relief advisory committee.

Committee members adopted multiple amendments before voting on the bill as amended. Representative Machtenbacher presented a set of substantial changes to the bill and described the amended language as affecting several sections, including a change to a park district maximum and additions to reporting requirements. Machtenbacher said the new section raises the park district maximum from $1,000,000 to $15,000,000 to give districts more flexibility; the committee also moved language establishing a uniform taxing‑district reporting system and reinstating a legislative advisory committee.

The committee adopted a set of committee amendments in a motion by Representative Doctor, seconded by Representative Machtenbacher; that amendment vote was recorded by roll call and carried, with Representative Steiner recorded as voting no. Representative Machtenbacher later moved an additional amendment (labeled section 22 in the transcript) directing the tax commissioner and state supervisor of assessments to compile or estimate the total value of exempt property across subdivisions and to use averaging methods if exact values are not available; Representative Doctor seconded that motion and the amendment passed.

Representative Porter then moved a due‑pass recommendation on House Bill 1572 as amended, seconded by Representative Dressler. The committee recorded a roll‑call recommendation; the clerk announced the motion carried with a recorded result shown in the transcript as "8 4 2." The committee chair announced the bill as twice amended and recommended for further action consistent with a committee do‑pass.

Clarifying points discussed in committee testimony and discussion included how amendments alter specific sections (the transcript cites the new section on page 7 for the park district change and page 22 for the exempt‑property reporting language), and that the exempt‑property estimate is intended to provide the legislature with a baseline valuation where county assessors do not assess exempt parcels.

Next steps: House Bill 1572 will proceed from the Finance and Tax Committee with a do‑pass recommendation as amended; additional legislative steps will follow per chamber rules.
