The bill amends Section 44-3-4 of the General Laws in Chapter 44-3, focusing on property tax exemptions for veterans and their unmarried widows or widowers. It introduces new language that provides a full property tax exemption from local taxation on real property that is the primary residence of any veteran and the unmarried widow or widower of a deceased veteran, provided that satisfactory evidence of receipt of assistance is furnished to the assessors. The bill removes specific monetary limits on exemptions previously set for municipalities, replacing them with a general full property exemption for qualifying veterans. It clarifies that if the property is designed for occupancy by more than one family, only the portion occupied by the veteran as their domicile shall be exempted. The act is set to take effect upon passage, enhancing the support provided to veterans and their families through property tax relief.
