The bill amends Section 44-3-4 of the General Laws in Chapter 44-3, focusing on property tax exemptions for veterans. It provides a full property tax exemption for a veteran's real property used as the veteran's primary residence. The bill allows city or town councils to grant this full exemption, removing the previous fixed $10,000 exemption limit.

Additionally, the bill specifies 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 also clarifies that the remarriage of a veteran's widow or widower does not disqualify them from benefits if the marriage is void, terminated, or annulled.

The bill takes effect upon passage.
