A proposal that would allow lawmakers to tax owner-occupied housing at a different rate than other classes of property stalled on the second round of debate Aug. 20 after a failed cloture motion, ending debate on it during the special session.<\/p>\n

Under LR2CA, sponsored by Sen. Tom Brandt of Plymouth, voters could amend the state constitution to allow the Legislature to provide that owner-occupied housing constitutes a separate and distinct class of property for tax purposes and provide for a different method of taxing it than other types of property.<\/p>\n

North Platte Sen. Mike Jacobson opposed the measure. If future senators reduce the valuation of owner-occupied housing, he said, local governments would have to collect more property taxes from commercial and agricultural property owners to make up the difference.<\/p>\n

The state\u2019s existing homestead exemption program could be used to provide additional property tax relief to homeowners without changing the constitution, Jacobson added.<\/p>\n

After four hours of select file debate, Brandt offered a motion to invoke cloture, which ends debate and forces a vote on the bill and any underlying motions and amendments. The motion failed on a vote of 26-16. Thirty-three votes were needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
