AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to change how candidates for property valuation administrator, an official responsible for assessing property values for tax purposes, are examined and certified. Instead of the Department of Revenue administering the exams, the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) will now offer them. The Department of Revenue will provide KCTCS with the necessary examination questions and information. The bill establishes a specific timeframe for when these examinations will be available, running for nine months before a candidate is eligible to file for office and closing three weeks before the filing deadline. KCTCS will collaborate with the Department of Revenue to create administrative regulations for registering for the exam and setting fees. After a candidate takes the exam, KCTCS will share relevant information with the Department of Revenue, which will then have ten days to issue a certificate of fitness and qualification to candidates who pass. The bill also clarifies exceptions to the examination requirement for current property valuation administrators seeking re-election and for interim appointees.
