The bill amends Section 44-3-4 of the General Laws in Chapter 44-3, focusing on property tax exemptions for veterans. It establishes a full property tax exemption for real property that is the primary residence of veterans and their unmarried widows or widowers. The previous $10,000 exemption is replaced with this full exemption, ensuring that veterans are not subject to local taxation on their primary residence.

The bill clarifies that if the property is designed for occupancy by more than one family, only the portion of the property occupied by the veteran as their domicile will be exempted. Additionally, the bill ensures that the remarriage of widows and widowers does not disqualify them from benefits if the marriage is void or annulled.

The act is set to take effect upon passage.
