A

Thank you, madam clerk. Let the record reflect that representative carr is excused today. Is there any personal orders or announcements from the members seeing none we're ready to get started today we have four bills on the calendar.

A

We will start with item number one house bill 1872 by chairman halsey got a proper motion and second on the bill chairman hulsey, you are recognized. Thank.

C

You, mr chairman, and thank you committee back in 2011, this body enacted a bill called the retail tourism development district act and what it was set up to do was to help cities that are on borders of other states to help us compete, bring in tourism and bring in retail sales, and uh so there was things set up in that bill uh on how much money you could spend in development and then the part of the system was that your sales tax in those places would be deferred to the state would go to the municipality that the this district is in to help defray um cost of putting in roads and and street lights and sewer and everything else.

C

So what this bill does bristol capitalized on this? They they got a place called the pinnacle, that's going great guns and did very well and didn't accomplish what this bill said. Eastridge did the same thing: kingsport's been a little bit sluggish and we've got 450 acres that fit this bill, but there's still nothing on there and that's what this bill is asking for. A five-year extension on uh on the original bill.

A

Any questions for the sponsor.

A

Any further discussion seeing none we're ready to vote all those in favor of house bill, 1872 moving on, please say: aye opposed no bill moves on to calendar. uh No, it goes on to full committee about sent you to give you a raise.

A

Item number two house bill, 1729 by representative leatherwood, he's going to present from his chair representative leatherwood. You do have a proper motion in second. I see we have an amendment. Can you please give me your amendment code.

D

D

A

That is correct, proper motion. Second, on the amendment representative, leatherwood you're, recognized on the amendment.

D

Okay, this amendment uh just delete section two of the original bill.

B

Question on the amendment.

A

We have called question on the amendment all those in favor of amendment one three, three, two nine going on house bill, 1729, please say aye opposed no bill is amended. You're recognized, sir on your bill is amended. Okay,.

D

This bill makes some changes regarding the state board of equalization. It actually just codifies some of the practices now regarding the executive secretary of the board and her authority streamlines that process, as well as streamlining the process regarding exempt properties that might not still be used as an exempt property and meet those qualifications. For that.

A

You've heard the explanation from the sponsor: is there any questions any further discussion?

A

If there be no objection, we'll go ahead and vote on house bill 1729 all in favor, please say: aye opposed no bill moves on to full local item number three house bill, 2370, representative leverwood, presenting from his desk. Do I have a motion, got a proper motion and second representative leatherwood you're recognized on 23.70.

D

Okay- and this is another very straightforward and simple bill- just the law right now requires the register's seal to be embossed, which made sense back in the day, and it was kind of nice if you rub your hand over it and all as being former register of deeds, but these days with scanning and electronic filing, it's just not necessary, and frankly, just not always practical. When you can file electronically now and register's office will never see a paper document.

A

Question has been called on the bill before we have a vote. I do have someone that wanted to speak. I don't know if he still wants to speak rice, all right.

D

A

That takes care of that.

D

Good move, stay.

A

In session all those in favor of house bill, 2370, say aye aye.

B

A

No bill moves on to full calendar.

A

E

D

A

Pass the gavel to vice chairman rot, as I have the final bill.

E

Thank you, mr chairman. Next item on the uh calendar today is item number four house bill 1955 by chairman crawford presenting from his desk. I have a proper motion in second chairman crawford you're recognized on house bill 1955.

A

Thank you, mr chairman. uh What this bill does committee is. It allows the same authority to the municipalities that the counties have now to buy delinquent tax properties and, as those properties are sitting there, they have to go through a special process, but if they decide they want to get them back on the tax roll, then this would give them the authority to be able to sell that for under the value that it was valued at. So, for instance, if you had a piece of property, that's a hundred thousand dollars.

A

You could sell it for 95 000 and put it back on the tax roll. That's what this bill does.

E

uh Having heard call for the question on the bill, are there any objections, seeing no objections to the question, all in favor say: aye opposed no eyes have it bill moves on the next available calendar of local government pass the gavel back to the chairman. Thank you, mr chairman. Thank you. Vice.

A

Chairman, I appreciate it uh before we close as any of the members have any announcements or personal orders, seeing none I'll entertain a motion to adjourn. We are adjourned.
