This legislation is a substantial revision of the new state and local title ad valorem tax (TAVT) system. Among other things, the bill changes how fair market value is determined; exempts commercial trucks (IRP vehicles) used for moving products interstate from the new system and continues them under the apportioned ad valorem tax; changes registration procedures; changes numerous items regarding dealers who directly finance sales; changes numerous items regarding leases; and provides for new criminal penalties.
Please have your finance officials and tax commissioner review the proposed changes and provide feedback to Clint Mueller at ACCG. Click here for a summary of the proposed changes.

| This legislation would make it illegal to include questions on a job application about whether the applicant was arrested for, charged with or convicted of a crime except for those applying for law enforcement jobs. If there is a law prohibiting those who have been arrested, charged or convicted of a particular crime from holding a particular job, then questions about that crime may be asked. Additionally, if a standard fidelity bond or equivalent bond is required for the job and conviction of particular crimes would prevent them from obtaining such a bond, then the employer may ask whether the applicant has ever been convicted of those crimes. |

| ACCG opposed this legislation as it was introduced because it mandated that counties pay a licensed auctioneer to conduct any sale of county property through a bid or auction process, including eBay, govdeals.com or any other online service. This bill was subsequently amended to no longer impact counties. |
