The bill was amended to repeal three property assessment sections instead of one, add specific notification requirements for property value increases, and introduce restrictions on computer programs that artificially inflate property valuations. These changes aim to improve transparency in property assessments and protect homeowners from sudden valuation jumps generated by automated systems.

Scope change

The bill's scope expanded from repealing one property assessment section to repealing three sections, and added new requirements for assessor notification procedures and computer program limitations.

SCOPE

Changed the bill to repeal three sections (137.076, 137.180, and 137.355) instead of just one, expanding the legislative scope.

REQUIREMENT

Added new restrictions preventing assessors from using computer programs that increase property values by more than four percent without manual review by experienced appraisers.

Added specific notification requirements for property owners when assessments increase, including projected tax liability information for certain counties.

DEFINITION

Modified the definition of 'computer program' to explicitly include computer-assisted mass appraisal systems and artificial intelligence tools used for property valuation.
