Bill > S07244

This bill amends the real property tax law to expand eligibility for a property tax exemption for military reservists by allowing local governments (counties, cities, towns, villages, and school districts) to provide a tax break to reservists who participated in formal training activities, in addition to those who were previously designated as being on active duty under a specific Executive Order from 1970. The bill allows these local governments to grant the tax exemption to reservists who are either active members in good standing, have been honorably discharged, have a qualifying condition as defined in veterans' services law, or are discharged LGBT veterans, provided they meet other existing qualifications. By inserting language about "formal training activities," the bill expands the potential pool of military reservists who can qualify for this property tax exemption, recognizing the service and contributions of reservists who may not have been previously covered under the existing law.
