MODERATE

The bill was amended to add new members to the Real Property Assessment Task Force, specifically representing the Indiana Farm Bureau, Indiana Auditors Association, and Indiana Manufacturers Association, while removing representatives from the Association of Indiana Counties, Accelerate Indiana Municipalities, and the Indiana Bankers Association. Additionally, a new member with academic expertise in property assessment and local government finance was added. These changes broaden the range of industries and professional perspectives included in the review of Indiana's property tax system.
