Bill > HB167

This bill removes tax exemptions for several organizations associated with the Confederacy, specifically eliminating the exemption from state recordation taxes for the Virginia Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and revoking the tax-exempt status for real and personal property owned by the Virginia Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, the General Organization of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, the Confederate Memorial Literary Society, the Stonewall Jackson Memorial, Incorporated, the Virginia Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans, and the J.E.B. Stuart Birthplace Preservation Trust, Inc. Recordation taxes are fees paid when official documents, like deeds, are filed with a government office, and tax-exempt status means an organization does not have to pay property taxes. The bill also includes technical amendments to existing laws.
