AI Summary
This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the West Virginia Constitution that would exempt honorably discharged veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces from paying ad valorem property taxes on their primary residence and all personal property. Ad valorem property tax is a tax based on the assessed value of property. The proposed amendment would allow voters to decide on this change at the next general election in 2026, and if approved, it would amend Section 1b of Article X of the state Constitution, which currently addresses property tax limitations and homestead exemptions.
