What changed in the latest version
28 added · 34 removedPlain-language change summary
The updated version of SB 900 includes a new property tax exemption for veterans with a 100% service-connected, permanent, and total disability, as well as for the surviving spouses of veterans and soldiers killed in action. A significant change is that the surviving spouses can claim this exemption without restrictions if they move to a different principal residence; however, the exemption will end if they remarry. These changes aim to provide greater financial support and flexibility for veterans and their families, acknowledging their sacrifices and ensuring they have a stable living situation.
