Bill > HJR144

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to provide property tax exemptions for certain disabled veterans in Missouri. Specifically, the amendment would allow for partial or total tax exemptions on homestead and personal property for veterans with service-connected disabilities, with the exemption amount directly proportional to their disability rating as determined by the US Department of Veterans Affairs. Under the proposed amendment, veterans with disability ratings less than 100% would receive a tax reduction equal to their disability percentage, while veterans with a 100% disability rating would be completely exempt from real and personal property taxes. The proposed amendment would take effect on January 1, 2027, and would apply to all real and personal property used as a homestead by eligible veterans. The resolution requires submission to Missouri voters at the next general election in November 2026 or at a special election called by the governor, allowing citizens to vote on whether to adopt this constitutional change.
