SUMMARY

This bill amends the $5,000 property tax exemption provided to a veteran who served in the Armed Forces of the United States to remove the eligibility requirements that the veteran served during a federally recognized war period or that the veteran be totally disabled. Under this bill, a veteran of the Armed Forces of the United States is eligible to receive a property tax exemption if the veteran served at least 2 years and has reached the age of 62 or the veteran is totally disabled.

This bill also amends the current $47,500 property tax exemption for specially adapted housing for paraplegic veterans to remove the requirement that the veteran served in the Armed Forces of the United States during a federally recognized war period.
