Examine the system for appraising property for tax purposes:

• Study the implementation and effects of HB 1010, 80th R.S..
• Consider whether the statutory system for choosing the Central Appraisal District Board of Directors and governing the board's operation adequately protects the public interest.
• Evaluate whether the authority of the chief appraiser should be limited.
• Consider alternative methods and procedures for conducting the Comptroller's School Value Study to ensure both the equitable distribution of state school aid and a more stringent review of local appraisal practices.
• Examine constitutional and statutory constraints on the enforcement of uniform appraisal standards across the state and the ability of the state to provide oversight of appraisal districts.
• Consider ways to improve appraisal district efficiency, transparency and services, including, but not limited to, the reconfiguration of appraisal districts.
• Evaluate changes in the property valuation appeal system that could expedite and reduce the cost of dispute resolution.
