MODERATE

This revision updates the bill's version number and metadata to reflect its progression to the second House Committee reading. It includes minor technical corrections to definitions, such as clarifying that 'ministerial' refers to a 'permit' and renaming 'transit-supportive density' to 'transit-supportive density requirements.' Additionally, it expands the list of properties subject to the conveyance tax to include agricultural land with residential dwellings and adjusts the calculation method for multifamily properties to exclude the phrase 'actual and full consideration' from the denominator, likely to simplify the tax base calculation.

Scope change

The scope of the conveyance tax was expanded to include agricultural land zoned for residential use, whereas the previous version did not explicitly list this category.

DEFINITION

Changed the definition of 'Ministerial' to 'Ministerial permit' and 'Transit-supportive density' to 'Transit-supportive density requirements' for grammatical consistency.

ELIGIBILITY

Added 'land zoned agricultural with a residential dwelling unit' to the list of properties subject to the conveyance tax.

REQUIREMENT

Revised the calculation for multifamily residential properties by removing the instruction to divide consideration by the number of units before applying the rate, changing the mathematical application of the tax.

TECHNICAL

Updated document metadata including the author name, revision numbers, and timestamps to reflect the second House Committee reading.
