BILL NUMBER:S6976
Title of bill
An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to the senior citizen exemption and veteran disability compensation
Purpose or general idea of bill
This bill deducts veterans' disability compensation used to calculate senior citizen real property tax exemptions.
Summary of specific provisions
Paragraph (a) of subdivision 3 of section 467 of the Real Property Tax Law would be amended to eliminate veterans' disability compensation for purposes of determining income eligibility for the senior citizen exemption. Section one of the bill is a technical amendment incorporating a prior amendment to the paragraph.
Justification
Disabled United States armed forces members cannot deduct compensation payments for injuries received in war from their income when applying for the senior citizen exemption, but people that were not even citizens of this country during the war can take deductions for compensation received as a result of war. This bill attempts to create equity with respect to both classes of applicants for the senior citizen tax exemption.

Effective date
Immediately upon enactment and applies to assessment rolls commencing after the following January 1st; the technical amendment contained in Section one of the bill shall be deemed to have been in effect since September 9, 2003.
