Bill > SB134

This bill modifies the homestead property tax exemption for disabled veterans in Ohio. Specifically, it expands the exemption to include disabled veterans who have either attained age 59 or served 20 or more years in the armed forces, in addition to those with a total disability rating. The bill also allows the surviving spouse of a disabled veteran or public service officer killed in the line of duty to continue receiving the exemption. It requires the county veterans service officer to provide confirmation of a disabled veteran's status and years of service for the exemption. The amendments apply to tax years ending on or after the effective date of the bill.
