In what veteran legislators would call a very rare event, a measure requiring tax assessors to ask permission to enter dwellings passed the House and Senate, including all committees, with no opposition.
Current law is broad based and actually gives permission to an assessor to enter without asking.
Ogan introduced the bill early on and the State Tax Assessor cooperated with him in developing language. This is a perfect example of the need to amend and improve existing law. It was a small thing technically, but a huge step philosophically.
