Introduced by Sen. Jason Allen (R) on June 5, 2007, to exempt the personal property (equipment and furnishings) in Masons' lodges from local property tax, but not school taxes, if the personal property is used for charitable purposes. Property used for commercial or for-profit purposes would be presumed not to be used for nonprofit charitable purposes.
- Referred to the Senate Finance Committee on June 5, 2007.

What about those alien spacecraft they hide in their temples? Do you have any idea what kind of personal property taxes this crazy state would charge for advanced technology with faster-than-light drive?

Without this bill, the Masons pack up and take their Martians to Ohio. It's that simple.

If Masons want to be exempt from taxes they need to reorganize as a tax exempt entity. This is just a pet project and would be no different than exempting any or all other social organizations from property taxes, such as golf clubs, lodges, country clubs, fraternaties etc.
