STATEMENT OF PURPOSE RS 15595C1 The purpose of this legislation is to exempt from the property tax any increase in the net taxable value of real property of a taxpayer in excess of five (5) percent per year. This legislation provides that the property included in the calculation of the exemption shall include each parcel of real property owned by the taxpayer, provides that the exemption does not apply to forest lands, provides that the Legislature declare the exemption necessary and just, and provides for rules. This legislation also declares an emergency and provides for retroactive application. FISCAL NOTE Any impact to the general fund will be positive, in that circuit breaker payments could decrease. The 2006 school M&O budget amount is set by multiplying the 2005 adjusted value by .003. Therefore, this bill will have no impact to school M&O in 2006. The first impact is in 2007. The increase in school M&O funds will be reduced by $19 million. It is estimated that the increase in revenue for all other taxing districts in Idaho will be lessened by $8 million in 2006, due to levy limits. In no event will a year-to-year actual decrease in revenue occur.
