Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The stated purpose of this bill is to provide for the assessment of personal property of transients who provide temporary employment services within any county of the state for a period of at least thirty days and for the payment of taxes on the value of the assessed property.
In addition to information in the stated purpose, this bill would require the county assessor to enter all assessments and valuations of such transient personal property on the personal property books and require the sheriff to provide a receipt. According to our interpretation of this bill, the increase in tax revenue that may result from passage of this bill cannot be readily determined. The capacity to effectively collect Property Taxes on transient tangible personal property that is not due for more than a year after assessment would be in great doubt.
Passage of this bill would increase administrative costs of local governments by an undetermined amount.
