Bill Summary
Altering eligibility for the property tax credit for dwellings owned by a disabled public safety officer or judicial officer or a surviving spouse or a cohabitant of a fallen public safety officer or judicial officer by repealing a certain requirement that the officer, surviving spouse, or cohabitant be domiciled in the State within 5 years of a certain event under certain circumstances.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the eligibility requirements for a property tax credit available to disabled public safety officers, judicial officers, and their surviving spouses or cohabitants (individuals in a committed relationship who lived with and were financially interdependent with the officer). Specifically, it removes a previous requirement that these individuals must have been domiciled, meaning lived as their permanent home, in the state within five years of a specific event, such as the officer's disability or death. The bill aims to make this tax credit more accessible by eliminating this time-bound residency condition.
