The bill amends Title 51 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, specifically focusing on the real estate tax exemption for disabled veterans. It introduces a new requirement for the commission responsible for overseeing these exemptions. The commission is tasked with developing a process for the preapproval of applicants seeking exemption from real estate taxes. This process will include provisions for applicants who are awaiting final certification from the United States Veterans Affairs Administration regarding their total or 100% permanent disability status, as well as those who can provide satisfactory evidence that they will meet the necessary requirements while in the process of purchasing a new home.

The new legal language added to Section 8904 outlines specific criteria for preapproval, ensuring that veterans can receive timely assistance while their applications are being processed. This amendment aims to streamline the exemption process and provide support to disabled veterans during their transition to new dwellings. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
