Relating to a study of alternative methods of taxation to replace revenue lost to political subdivisions if ad valorem taxes are abolished.

HB 3018 establishes a nine-member commission to study alternative tax methods that could replace revenue lost by local governments if property taxes (ad valorem taxes) are abolished. The commission, including the comptroller, legislative leaders, and public members, must analyze these alternatives and report findings by December 2026. This bill creates a procedural study with no immediate policy changes, requiring the commission to dissolve by September 2027.
