Bill > LB384

This bill amends the Property Tax Request Act to require that a voting member of the governing body of each participating political subdivision, which includes counties, cities, or school districts, and the county assessor of the county hosting the hearing, must attend joint public hearings when these political subdivisions seek to increase their property tax request by more than the allowable growth percentage. This change modifies existing law by replacing the previous requirement for an "elected official" from each participating political subdivision to attend with the mandate for a "voting member of the governing body" and adds the county assessor as a mandatory attendee. The purpose of these hearings is to discuss each political subdivision's intent to increase property taxes beyond a certain threshold, with specific notice and presentation requirements to inform the public about proposed tax increases and their impact on budgets.
