Bill > SCR148

Introduced Session

If approved by the voters, this proposed amendment to the State Constitution would authorize the governing body of a municipality to provide a property tax credit of up to 100 percent for the primary residence of a volunteer firefighter or volunteer first aid rescue squad member. To qualify for the credit, the volunteer is required to be an active member of a fire company or first aid squad that serves the municipality where the primary residence is located. This credit is being offered as a way to encourage more residents to volunteer as first responders and to acknowledge those who currently put their lives on the line to ensure the safety of our communities each and every day.
