Bill > H3502

This bill amends the South Carolina Code of Laws to provide that certain surviving spouses are eligible for a property tax exemption. Specifically, it allows the surviving spouse of a member of the U.S. Armed Forces who died from a service-connected disability to claim the exemption, even if the disability determination was made after the veteran's death. It also expands the definition of "qualified surviving spouse" to include the surviving spouse of a member of the U.S. Armed Forces who was killed in action or the surviving spouse of a law enforcement officer or firefighter who died in the line of duty. The bill takes effect upon approval by the Governor and applies to tax years beginning after 2022.
