Bill Summary
This constitutional amendment would extend the veteran's property tax deduction, currently $250 per year, to Gold Star families. The deduction would be equal to those already authorized for honorably discharged wartime veterans. A Gold Star Family in this context is the parent, brother, sister, child, legal guardian, or other legal custodian of a member of the armed services who died while on active duty for the United States. Unmarried surviving spouses of such veterans are already eligible for the benefit. Under the amendment, only one deduction would be permitted per Gold Star Family, and the priority for the deduction among eligible family members would be established by law.
AI Summary
This concurrent resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to extend the existing veteran's property tax deduction, currently $250 annually, to Gold Star families. A Gold Star Family is defined as the parent, sibling, child, or legal guardian of a service member who died while on active duty for the United States. This benefit, which is already available to unmarried surviving spouses, would be limited to one deduction per eligible family, with the order of priority for receiving it to be determined by law.
