MODERATE
This bill was amended to expand its scope beyond just creating a new statute. The original version only established a new section (193.6245) to exclude wind-resistant improvements from property assessments. The amended version adds provisions to amend two existing statutes (193.155 and 193.1554) to create additional exceptions to just-value assessments for both homestead and nonhomestead residential properties.

The bill's scope was significantly expanded from creating a single new statute to amending three statutes total, now affecting both homestead and nonhomestead property assessments.
