1HOUSE RESOLUTION

2 WHEREAS, The property tax system has produced systemic 

3inequities that disproportionately burden communities through 

4regressive assessment practices, thereby imposing higher 

5effective tax rates on those with the least wealth; and

6 WHEREAS, These inequities contribute to a documented

8forced out-migration, declining property values, and the
