2019 - 2020 LEGISLATURE
January 16, 2020 - Introduced by Senator Kooyenga, cosponsored by
Representatives Hutton and Sanfelippo. Referred to Committee on
Economic Development, Commerce and Trade.
SB696,1,3 1An Act to amend 42.11, 70.11 (1) and 70.11 (44) of the statutes; relating to: a
2technical correction to the property tax exemption for an Olympic Ice Training
3Center.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law provides a property tax exemption for property owned by a
nonprofit corporation that operates an Olympic Ice Training Center on land
purchased from the state. This bill makes a technical correction to the exemption,
and related provisions, by changing “Olympic Ice Training Center” to “National Ice
Training Center.”
Because this bill relates to an exemption from state or local taxes, it may be
referred to the Joint Survey Committee on Tax Exemptions for a report to be printed
as an appendix to the bill.
For further information see the local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
