What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the veterans and surviving spouses property tax credit may
be claimed by certain U.S. armed forces veterans and by the unremarried surviving
spouses of certain veterans or members of the national guard or reserves
(collectively, "veterans"). To be eligible to claim the credit, the veteran must meet
several criteria, including having been a resident of this state at the time of entry into
the service or having been a resident of this state for any consecutive five-year period
after entry into that service, and having either a service-connected disability rating
of at least 100 percent or a 100 percent disability rating based on individual
unemployability.
This bill changes the requirement of a consecutive five-year period of residency
in this state to any one-year period of residency. This change also applies to
eligibility requirements for a claimant who is the eligible unremarried surviving
spouse of an eligible veteran.
