This bill changes how people who want to run for property valuation administrator are tested before taking office. It moves responsibility for offering the required qualification exam from its current setup to the Kentucky Community and Technical College System, while the Department of Revenue would still provide the exam questions and determine whether candidates passed. Who it may affect: people seeking to run for property valuation administrator in their county, and local communities that rely on accurate property assessments for tax purposes.
