Title of bill
An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to establishing an exemption for permanently totally disabled veterans
Purpose or general idea of the bill
To establish a real property tax exemption for permanently total disabled veterans.
Summary of provisions
Section 1: The real property tax law is amended by adding a new section 458-c; creating an exemption for permanently total disabled veterans. Defines terms relevant to these provisions.
Section 2: Enactment date.
Justification
This legislature has supported and defended the rights of New York State's veterans. New York continues to thank and reward our servicemen and women for the personal sacrifices they have made while protecting our state and our nation. Our veterans have served whenever they were needed, and have served honorably. While we continue to recognize and thank our servicemen and women, we must also remember the cruel realities of war.
Too often, it is our disabled and often our bravest veterans who are forgotten or ignored. Many veterans become permanently and totally disabled as a result of their active military, naval, or air service. A large number of these permanently total disabled veterans are no longer able to lead what the average person would consider a normal life. Physical and/or mental impairments can prevent veterans from finding employment and often lead to difficult financial times. This legislation would help to alleviate some of the financial burden that is placed on our permanently and totally disabled veterans.
Our veterans have fought honorably to protect the residents of this country and of this state. It is only right that these veterans are similarly taken care of and protected after they have been permanently injured and disabled in the line of duty.
