Bill > HB05242

This bill proposes to modify an existing property tax exemption for veterans by expanding eligibility to include surviving spouses of veterans who died before the original exemption went into effect. Specifically, the bill amends subdivision (83) of section 12-81 of the general statutes to allow these surviving spouses to receive the same property tax exemption that was previously only available to living veterans or potentially surviving spouses of more recently deceased veterans. The purpose is to provide retroactive tax relief to the families of veterans who passed away before the current exemption was established, ensuring that these surviving spouses can benefit from the same tax advantages that would have been available had their veteran spouse been alive when the exemption was implemented. By making this change, the bill aims to provide additional financial support to the families of veterans who have already lost their spouse.
