BILL NUMBER:S553B

Title of bill

An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to permitting municipalities the local option of providing a tax exemption to certain National Guard members and reservists

Purpose

To provide a tax exemption for U.S. Military reservists and members of the National Guard after 20 years of favorable service.

Summary of provisions

Section 1 - Amends the real property tax law by adding a new section 458-C.

Section 2 - Establishes the effective date

Justification

Currently military veterans are permitted certain tax exemptions depending upon the locality in which they live. However, reservists and National Guard members are not eligible for those exemptions. This bill would grant localities the option of offering a 5% reduction to reservists and National Guard members who have served our country for a period of not less than 20 years and are not eligible for any other military property tax exemption.
