Bill > HB4084

This bill amends the Property Tax Code to provide a homestead exemption from taxation for property used as a qualified residence by a police officer or firefighter with a duty-related disability. The exemption also carries over to the surviving spouse of a qualified officer or firefighter, as well as the surviving spouse of an officer or firefighter killed in the line of duty. The bill defines the specific criteria for a "qualified police officer," "qualified firefighter," and "qualified residence" to be eligible for the exemption. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
