Sec. 9.
(1) The Department of Revenue, in consultation with the county governing bodies and the county assessors of
this state, shall conduct a study of the appropriate level of funding for property assessment and taxation

(2) The study shall also consider various means to improve cost efficiency in the property assessment process
including, but not limited to, consideration of the extent to which efficiency is improved through department
assessment of property instead of county assessment of property.
(3) The department shall report the findings of the study to those interim committees of the Seventy-second
Legislative Assembly having jurisdiction over property tax matters no later than December 31, 2004.
