                              FISCAL ANALYSIS

ASSUMPTION

Officials of the State Tax Commission stated this proposal would not affect
their agency administratively. They noted that counties appointing citizen
boards of equalization would have costs for compensating board members. Since
compensation is set by county commissions, cost to any county would be
unknown at this time.

DESCRIPTION

This proposal would allow third class counties to appoint three-citizen
boards of equalization. Currently boards of equalization in third and fourth
classification counties consist of the county commissioners, the county
assessor, the county surveyor, and the county clerk who serves as non-voting
board secretary.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other
program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental
space.
