The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6732, seeks to amend subdivision (83) of section 12-81 of the general statutes regarding property tax exemptions for permanently and totally disabled veterans. The bill introduces new legal language to ensure that both the land on which a dwelling is situated and the dwelling itself are included in the property tax exemption for eligible veterans. Additionally, it stipulates that if a veteran who qualified for this exemption passes away, their surviving spouse will also be eligible for the same property tax exemption.

In summary, the bill aims to enhance the property tax benefits for disabled veterans by broadening the scope of the exemption to cover the land associated with their dwelling and extending the exemption to their surviving spouses. This legislative change is intended to provide further support to veterans and their families in recognition of their service.
