2005 House Bill 5454 ↩

House Roll Call 959: Passed

To adopt a compromise version of the bill reported by a House-Senate conference committee. This increases the alternative property taxes on forestland in the commercial forest act program from $1.10 per acre to $1.20 per acre, and then an additional five-cents every five years. It does not require landowners who signed up for the tax break since 1995 to provide documentation that public access to the land for hunting and fishing is possible, but as under current law, prohibits them from denying access if it is possible to gain access to the land without trespassing on another parcel.
