Bill > HCR23

This concurrent resolution directs the establishment of the Property Taxation Task Force, a group tasked with studying and making recommendations to address rising property taxes in Kentucky. The resolution acknowledges that property taxes are crucial for funding public services like education and safety, but notes that increasing property values are straining homeowners, particularly seniors and those on fixed incomes, and hindering homeownership. The task force, composed of ten members appointed from both the Senate and the House of Representatives, will analyze property costs, income, and tax laws, examine policies in other states, and seek input from various stakeholders. The task force is required to meet monthly during the 2026 interim legislative session and submit its findings and recommendations by December 1, 2026, though the Legislative Research Commission has the authority to assign these issues to an interim joint committee instead.
