Bill Summary
This bill revises the current veteran's total property tax exemption provided to totally disabled, honorably-discharged wartime veterans who received a 100% service-related disability during their wartime service in the United States Armed Forces. Under the current law, veterans who did not receive a 100% service-related disability, but who were partially disabled during their service, are not eligible to receive a proportional property tax exemption. The bill would allow all honorably-discharged wartime veterans who received a service-related permanent disability determination resulting from their wartime service in the United States Armed Forces, including those who received a 100% disability determination, to receive a property tax exemption in the proportional amount of their service-related disability, as declared by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs. A veteran who was determined by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs to have a 100% service-related disability would still receive a 100% property tax exemption under the statute. However, veterans who received a service-related, wartime permanent disability of less than 100%, as determined by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs would become eligible under the bill to receive a partial property tax exemption, the amount of which would be equal to the degree of their service-connected, wartime service permanent disability as determined by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs.
AI Summary
This bill revises the current 100% property tax exemption for totally disabled, honorably-discharged wartime veterans to allow for a proportional exemption based on the degree of a veteran's service-related permanent disability, as determined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Previously, veterans with less than 100% disability were not eligible for any exemption, but this bill would provide a partial exemption proportional to their disability level. The surviving spouse of a veteran would also be eligible to receive the same exemption as the deceased veteran. The bill aims to provide more equitable property tax relief for veterans with service-related permanent disabilities.
