Bill > H7662

This bill authorizes the town of Middletown to establish a property tax exemption for veterans, allowing them to receive a tax credit or exemption on their real and personal property regardless of their service dates, as long as they were honorably discharged or discharged under conditions other than dishonorable. This provision is added to an existing state law that already grants various property tax exemptions to veterans, with specific amounts and conditions varying by town. The bill also clarifies that Middletown can provide an additional exemption for veterans who are 100% totally and permanently disabled due to a service-connected disability, or for their surviving spouses, and can offer an exemption greater than $25,000 or an equivalent tax credit for these disabled veterans. The act will become effective immediately upon its passage.
