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

Relates to real property tax exemptions for disabled veterans.

Summary of specific provisions

Section one amends subdivision two of section 458-a of the real property tax law by adding a new paragraph (e).

Section two is the effective date.

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.
