The bill amends Section 44-3-4 of the General Laws in Chapter 44-3, focusing on property tax exemptions for veterans. It authorizes the town of Middletown to adopt, by ordinance, several real and personal property tax exemptions for any veteran of the United States armed services who was honorably discharged or discharged under conditions other than dishonorable, regardless of their service dates. The bill allows for tax credits or exemptions to be provided to veterans and specifies that the town council may offer an additional tax credit or exemption on real and personal property for veterans who are considered 100% totally disabled due to a service-connected disability.

The legislation also includes provisions for the unmarried widows or widowers of veterans who are not currently receiving this statutory exemption. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
