Committee re‑refers bill to Veterans Affairs to expand property‑tax exemption for disabled veterans
Summary
The House Local Government Committee voted to re‑refer House Bill 1119, which would allow disabled veterans to receive a property‑tax exemption proportional to their disability rather than only total‑disability exemptions, to the Veterans Affairs and Emergency Preparedness Committee for further consideration.
At the House Local Government Committee meeting, members voted to re‑refer House Bill 1119, sponsored by Representative Probst, to the Veterans Affairs and Emergency Preparedness Committee with a recommendation. Committee staff described the bill as allowing disabled veterans to receive a property‑tax exemption that is proportional to their disability rating rather than limiting the exemption to those with total disability.
Chairman Freeman made the motion to re‑refer the bill with the sponsor’s agreement; members approved the motion by voice vote. The committee’s action sends the bill to the Veterans Affairs and Emergency Preparedness Committee for additional review and consideration.
