This bill allows surviving spouses of veterans to receive a partial property tax exemption on their primary home worth up to $150,000 in assessed value. The exemption applies if the veteran was rated permanently and totally disabled from a service-connected condition, or if the surviving spouse receives dependency and indemnity compensation from the federal Veterans Affairs department due to the veteran's service-connected death. The exemption continues until the property is sold, the surviving spouse moves, or other qualifying conditions end.
