Report.
By December 31st of each odd-numbered year, the State Tax Assessor shall submit a report to the joint standing committee of the Legislature having jurisdiction over taxation matters that identifies the total value of each sale of working waterfront land and the value of each sale that is reasonably related to the working waterfront land, that compares the sale price of the working waterfront land to the assessed value of the property and that categorizes the sales data by region, type of commercial use or commercial fishing use and any other relevant categories.
