Administrative Rule Review Report   #AR10-010

Legislative Service Office

2-Feb-10

AGENCY: State Board of Equalization.

DATE SUBMITTED: January 27, 2010.

SUBJECT: Chapter 6, Statements of Consideration.

NATURE OF RULES:                      Legislative, procedural.

STATUTORY AUTHORITY:          W.S. 34-1-142(h), 39-11-102.1(c)(i)

DETERMINATION OF PROCEDURAL COMPLIANCE BASED UPON INFORMATION SUBMITTED BY THE AGENCY TO LSO:  The Agency did not provide notice, as required by W.S. 16-3-103(a)(i)(D), that the rules being adopted were new rules.  As a consequence, notice of the proposed rulemaking was not provided to the prime sponsor or committee responsible for the enabling legislation as required by W.S. 28-9-103(d).  Otherwise, procedural compliance is apparently complete to date.

SUMMARY OF RULES:  The rules being amended deal with statements of consideration.  Technical corrections are made throughout the rules.  Section 4 is revised to include the CAMA codes used on the statement.  Section 8 of the chapter is a new section and provides a process for the review of the statements of certain properties as specified for a person who has a meeting with the county assessor's office or who contests his property tax assessment.  Section 8 also provides definitions of certain terms used in statute, and was added as a result of 2009 Session Laws Chapter 141.

FINDINGS:  The rules appear to be within the scope of statutory and legislative intent.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:  That the rules be placed on the Consent List and be approved by the Council as submitted by the Agency.
