Bill > A09686

This bill amends the real property tax law to permit other qualifying members of a household, such as a relative or legal guardian, to qualify the household for the disability rent increase exemption, even if they are not the head of the household. The bill defines "qualifying member of the household" as a person with a disability who permanently resides in the dwelling unit but is not the head of the household. The bill also defines "relative" for the purposes of this provision. The goal of the bill is to allow more households with members who have disabilities to qualify for the rent increase exemption, even if the head of the household does not meet the disability criteria.
