The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6732, aims to amend subdivision (83) of section 12-81 of the general statutes concerning property tax exemptions for permanently and totally disabled veterans. The bill introduces new legal language to include not only the dwelling but also the land on which the dwelling is situated as part of the property eligible for tax exemption. Additionally, it stipulates that if a veteran who was eligible for this exemption passes away, their surviving spouse will also qualify for the exemption.

In summary, the bill seeks to enhance the property tax benefits for disabled veterans by broadening the scope of the exemption to cover both the land and the dwelling, as well as extending eligibility to the surviving spouses of deceased veterans. This change reflects a commitment to support veterans and their families in a more comprehensive manner.
