2013 House Bill 4069

Senate Roll Call 166: Passed

To not impose a property tax "recapture” charge assessed when property is withdrawn from a program granting tax exemptions to owners of large tracts of forest generally grown for "industrial" uses (like paper mills), if the property is entered into a similar "qualified forest" tax break program for private owners of smaller parcels. The program for the larger "industrial" forests requires owners to grant public recreational access, while the small-owner one does not. See also House Bill 4320.
