Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to real property tax exemptions for certain disabled veterans
Purpose or general idea of bill
To allow for real property tax exemptions for certain disabled veterans.
Summary of specific provisions
Subdivision 2 of section 458-a of the real property tax law is amended by adding a new paragraph (e).
Justification
This Bill would provide real property tax exemptions for one hundred percent disabled veterans (or the unmarried surviving spouse of such veteran) who served in a combat theatre or combat zone of operations, as documented by the award of a United States campaign ribbon or service medal, armed forces expeditionary medal, navy expeditionary medal, marine corps expeditionary medal, or global war on terrorism expeditionary medal. The veteran must be one hundred percent disabled as a result of military service, and shall be one hundred percent exempt from real property taxation. This would reward these American heroes who are now disabled with a tax break, a much deserved exemption for these men and women who have sacrificed their health and wellbeing for the safety of our country.
