Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


This legislation will decrease revenues going into the general revenue fund of counties. However, without knowing the number of property transfers that are between siblings or solely-owned LLCs, there is no way for counties to determine the revenue decrease. This amount would vary from county to county, depending on the number of sibling to sibling transfers and transfers by solely-owned LLCs.
