This act would authorize a municipality to adopt by local ordinance, a veterans' property tax exemption to any veteran, who was honorably discharged, or discharged under conditions other than dishonorable, regardless of dates or periods of service. This act would take effect upon passage.
AI Summary
This bill authorizes municipalities to create their own local property tax exemptions for veterans, allowing them to grant these exemptions to any veteran who received an honorable discharge or was discharged under conditions other than dishonorable, regardless of when they served. This means that local governments can now decide to offer property tax relief to a broader group of veterans than previously allowed by state law, which often had specific date or conflict requirements for eligibility.
