Plain-language change summary

The revised version of HB 684 removes the planned repeal of the forest acreage tax that counties are required to levy. Instead of allowing this tax to be repealed on June 30, 2020, the new version keeps it in place permanently. This change means that counties will continue to collect this tax, which can provide important funding for local services and forestry management. Keeping the tax ensures that there will be financial support for maintaining the health of forested areas in the region.
