Bill > HB910

This bill proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in the area of taxation and finance, to further provide for exemptions and special provisions. Specifically, it would exempt from real property taxes in Pennsylvania: (1) citizens and residents who were honorably discharged from military service and are 100% disabled, as determined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs; and (2) the surviving spouses of members of the U.S. armed forces who were killed in action or died from injuries received during active service. The bill also provides for the prorating of real property taxes and the awarding of refunds in certain cases where an exemption is granted. The proposed amendment would need to be passed by the General Assembly and approved by the qualified electors of the Commonwealth to take effect.
