Bill > HJR1082

This joint resolution directs the Oklahoma Secretary of State to present a proposed amendment to the state Constitution to voters for their approval or rejection. The amendment would create partial exemptions from ad valorem taxes (taxes on property value) for disabled veterans who do not have a 100% disability rating. Specifically, veterans with a service-connected disability rating of at least 10% would receive a partial exemption on their homestead (primary residence), with the amount of the exemption increasing based on their disability percentage, ranging from $5,000 for a 10-29% disability rating up to $12,000 for a 70-99% disability rating. The resolution also includes the official "Ballot Title," which is the summary voters will see when deciding whether to approve or reject the amendment, and outlines the process for filing the resolution.
