'' I- General Assembly. And it's probably to some extent a 1

. 1reactfon to not only to whyt's happening in tbis state I

- jbut in many states throughout this country today. I

IWhat I have included in Amendment //1 to House Joint '

state taxes. We have made tvo major changes in the

proposal as it appears before you today as Amendment //1. '

What I vould like to do is to adopt Amendment //1 and then

. go through the three reâdings and debate the subject i

1on 'rhird Reading in this House , probably at no more t ime

iat thaa at this time in the Session of our General '1) 0;

'

Assembly. The major changes in Amendment //1 are twofold,

first of a11 welve eliminated the set percentage that

appeared in tbe TaxpayerF's Rights Amendment and used the

fbrmula whic: is much less restrictive on state government.i

It would mean that we could not reduce , .below present

levels of service and taxes, the present tax struçture.' . j

- ; ;. 1in this state. There would be no cut backs as alludèd to i

ih the frevious debate on the Taxpayer's Rfvhts àmendment.i

Secondly, the subject area that appears to come most

heavily to press on us is that of property taxes. AndiIHouse Joint Constitutional Amendment //44 with Amendment

I1k addresses in three areas the point dealfng with proper yi

taxes. //1, it says we cannot reduce the proportion bf

monies going to local governments below.k:...that would. ibe when the Amendment is passed. Secondly, ft says that

we cannot mandate programs on state...oh local units of' j

government wfthout including the monies. And third and I

most importantly, it says that there is a 1id on propertyi.

taxes and that property taxes cannot be increased...the

final yield cannot be increased above the CPI or the1

inflation rate for the prior year. I can probably best

explain it this way by saying...aor by citing thisL E

lexample. Should the assessed valuation of a ptece of I

property be twenty thousand dollars and the tax rate

levy Mbe twenty....thirty mills, it would produce six . !

hundred dollars in taxes. Should that property tax rate

or that assessed valuation go up to thirty thousand, youi

would have to roll back the mill rate to produce the same 'Itax yields, sfx hundred dollars. In that example the

. ,- - mill rate would be twenty. It could.then be indexed by '

. the CPI, if it were 7% inflation rate.it would mean the :. iItax Bill vould be six hundred and forty-two dollaks. lt i

. Ii

also includes that should nev construution be in tbe taxi g ii

, i. distrfct area, that is exempted from t*e tax based but 'i

added tn. at the new roll back rate. Itve talked to local '.

units of governmeat over'the week-end about this proposàl E

= there are no obleetfohs to it. Tt is a muc: more moderat :E

proposal than that wbich existed in California under '

. '

!Jarvts-Gand. But 1et me remind tîe Members of this- qous ,

that it Was December 16y 1773, that there was a revolutio

. in this country over taxaiion gftîout representation.

Today ia this country andnmost recently in Calïfornia.

there has been a revolt over taxation wfth representation.

If ve don't recognize'what is happenfag in this country' ve soon wf11 be swept'from office because tbis ts the

. . most predominate issue on people's minds. its taxes. I'd ';

ask your permission to adojt Amendment //1 so that we can' iddress House Joint Constitutional Amendment //44 as a'

is that ff you levy at a certafn rate and you produce

a .certain Amount of revenue that you cannot produce

than that revenue ihan you did the prfor year.more

And if your assessed valuation g'oes up you must reduce

your rates to produce the same revenue. If you Were

levying-more than yeu weire usfng it wouldn't effeet it.l'

Stuffle: 'Qut you would- still get the CPI fncrease in assessment

and you'' would get a11 new construction parcel value.''

Totten: Ookayy on the new construction provision....if for

example you had a xillion dolrâ'r base that you were

assessfng on you bad....say a twenty mill rate, okay.

You would produce. I think twenty thousand. okay, if'

d 1 ation went.up to a million five you wouldassesse va u ,

havq to reduce the rate to produee tbe same yield...

twenty thousand. Then in regards to new construction,

if a half a million dollars of new construction was

added you would have to apply the reduce rate to that.

Okay, that means for fast growing areas they would not

be effected by a 1fd because the new propertfes going ,

in which require new services would'be take care of by th t

' exemption.''

Stuffle: HThank youy Representatlve Totten. To the Amendment,

I would rise in support of the Amendments 1 think Rep-

resentative Totten has not only listeY d' to the pulse of

the people fn this state and throughout the country but

I think he has cleyned up his Amendment from what was

sent to the Senate whfch I have to admït, I voted agains

then beqause I thosgbt it poorly written and poorly

defined. But 1 thïnk this Amendment goes a long way

towards what each of us has tbeen trying to do and have

been talkïng about. And for those reasons it ought to
