Three tax law bills before house Ways and Means
The Ways and Means Committee chaired by Mr. Jones of Coweta reviewed three bills to amend the equalization tax law. One mirrors the senate Persons bill, seeking discovery and taxation of invisible property and notes, mortgages, stocks, and bonds with penalties for noncompliance. The bills propose paid-property lists to prove tax payment, a substitute bill aiming to align with senate changes, and a separate Blackburn measure to allow an extra arbitrator in local tax cases. The committee also rejected Beck's proposal to elect the state tax commissioner by popular vote.
