The Comptroller of Public Accounts proposes the repeal of existing §9.100, concerning the property value study advisory committee. The comptroller repeals §9.100 to implement Section 91 of Senate Bill 2, 86th Legislature, 2019, which repealed Government Code, §403.302(m-1) and (n), effective January 1, 2020.

Tom Currah, Chief Revenue Estimator, has determined that during the first five years that repeal is in effect, the rules: will not create or eliminate a government program; will not require the creation or elimination of employee positions; will not require an increase or decrease in future legislative appropriations to the agency; will not require an increase or decrease in fees paid to the agency; will not increase or decrease the number of individuals subject to the rules' applicability; and will not positively or adversely affect this state's economy.

Mr. Currah also has determined that the proposed repeal would have no significant fiscal impact on the state government, units of local government, or individuals. The proposed repeal would benefit the public by conforming the rule to current statute. There would be no significant anticipated economic cost to the public. The proposed repeal would have no fiscal impact on small businesses or rural communities.

You may submit comments on the proposal to Korry Castillo, Director, Property Tax Assistance Division, P.O. Box 13528 Austin, Texas 78711 or to the email address: ptad.rulecomments@cpa.texas.gov. The comptroller must receive your comments no later than 30 days from the date of publication of the proposal in the Texas Register.

The repeal is proposed under Government Code, §403.302 (Determination of School District Property Values), which provides the comptroller with the authority to adopt rules governing the conduct of the property value study.

The repeal implements changes to Government Code, §403.302(m-1) and (n).
