Title of bill
An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to the real property tax exemption for cold war veterans
Purpose or general idea of bill
To clarify the term "active duty" to include duty of reservists called up during wartime regardless of time period, other than active duty for training.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1 amends paragraph c of subdivision 1 of section 458-b of the real property tax law by defining "active duty" as full-time duty in the United States armed forces, including duty of reservists called up during wartime regardless of the period of time, other than active duty for training.
Section 2 sets the effective date on the one hundred twentieth day after it becomes a law. Effective immediately, the addition, amendment and/or repeal of any rule or regulation necessary for the implementation of this act on its effective date is authorized to be made on or before such date.
Justification
Currently the term "active duty" defined in the Real Property Tax Law, only grants exemption to those veterans who have who served full-time duty in the United States Armed Forces. However, the definition does not encompass the service of reserves who have been called up temporarily during wartime. This bill would adopt a definition of "active duty" in the Real Property Tax Law that would include reservists who were called on during the time of war even if that time was not prolonged, and thereby authorizing them to receive a real property tax exemption.
