Bill > HB1406

This bill modifies the sales tax exemption for disabled veterans to expand the provision to include their spouse or guardian. Currently, the law provides a sales tax exemption for disabled veterans who have been honorably discharged and certified as receiving 100% disability compensation from military service. The bill now allows the current living spouse or guardian of such a disabled veteran to also claim this exemption. The exemption remains limited to $25,000 per year while the disabled veteran is living, and $1,000 per year for an unremarried surviving spouse. The bill also clarifies that if a disability determination is not finalized until after a veteran's death, the surviving spouse can still claim the exemption. This change aims to provide additional financial support to disabled veterans and their immediate families by extending the existing tax relief. The bill will become effective on November 1, 2025.
