The Legislature expressly authorized the Department of Revenue to adopt emergency rules that implement the provisions of Enrolled House Bill 1B, as signed by the Governor on June 21, 2007. The law provides that these emergency rules remain in effect for a period of 18 months and that they may be renewed. The Department of Revenue has taken several actions to inform interested parties about the forms, procedures, and emergency rules that are being developed to implement this new law, and to give such parties an opportunity, to review and comment. These interested parties include Property Appraisers and the professional associations that represent them, counties, municipalities, and independent districts, and their associations. The actions that the Department has taken include: requesting the assistance of other state agencies and professional associations in ascertaining if the information in the relevant sections of House Bill 1B have been understood; and, establishing a new website on which to post information, forms, and procedures associated with implementation of this act.
