Bill > HJR145

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to expand property tax exemptions for certain disabled veterans in Missouri. Specifically, the resolution would add a new provision to the state constitution that defines a "disabled veteran" as a state resident who has been honorably separated from active service in the U.S. Armed Forces, reserves, National Guard, or state defense force, and has been certified by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to receive 100% disability compensation for a service-connected disability. The amendment would grant full property tax exemptions for both real and personal property owned by such disabled veterans. The resolution specifies that this amendment would be submitted to Missouri voters for approval at the general election in November 2026 or at a special election called by the governor. If approved, this change would provide significant tax relief for disabled veterans who have been severely impacted by service-related disabilities, recognizing their sacrifices and supporting their financial well-being by reducing their property tax burden.
