Bill > HB06769

This bill proposes to amend subdivision (83) of section 12-81 of the general statutes to expand an existing property tax exemption to include surviving spouses of military members who were killed in action (KIA). Currently, the property tax exemption likely applies to certain veterans or military service members, and this amendment would extend that same tax benefit to the spouse of a service member who died while serving in combat or in a combat-related incident. By doing so, the bill aims to provide additional financial support to the families of military personnel who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. The proposed change would help ease the financial burden on these Gold Star spouses by reducing their property tax obligations, recognizing the significant loss and service of their fallen loved ones.
