Bill > HB2120

This bill amends Arizona law to expand the definition of "competent medical authority" for determining total and permanent disability for property tax exemptions, allowing the United States Social Security Administration's written determination letters to be accepted as evidence, in addition to existing options like licensed medical professionals and the Department of Veterans Affairs. This change aims to broaden the criteria for individuals seeking property tax relief due to a disability, ensuring that those with a Social Security Administration-certified disability can more easily qualify for exemptions on their primary residence. The bill also makes technical adjustments to how certain exemption amounts are annually increased based on economic indicators like the GDP price deflator and the federal house price index, and clarifies that individuals cannot claim property tax exemptions under multiple categories (widow/widower, disabled person, or veteran) simultaneously.
