05:36 PM -- HCR 13-1001 - Concerning the Senior Homestead Exemption

Representative Scott, prime sponsor, distributed a handout on House Concurrent Resolution 13-1001 (Attachment G) and noted that it extends the benefits of the senior property tax exemption to seniors who already qualify for the exemption but have to move because of a disability. The committee engaged in a discussion on a number of issues that were tied to the exemption that are not affected by HCR 13-1001. After a brief discussion, the committee heard testimony.
