The Senate Revenue Committee voted 3–2 to advance House Joint Resolution 4, a proposed constitutional amendment that would add a voter-approved homestead exemption for veterans who are rated 100% permanent and total disabled by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
Representative Stivaler, sponsor of HJR 4, told the committee the amendment would add language to Article 15, Section 12 of the Wyoming Constitution so that veterans who are "100% total and permanent" disabled would not pay property tax.
