Title:
Veterans property tax exemption.

Subject:
Provides
for a property tax exemption for veterans.

Summary/Major
Elements:

Old law listed all wars/conflicts for which veterans were entitled to a
property tax exemption if they served in those conflicts.

New law merely states that service in any war/conflict qualifies for the
property tax exemption if the person was awarded the armed forces expeditionary
medal or other authorized service or campaign medal indicating service for the
U.S. in any armed conflict in a foreign country.

Report required Requires the department of revenue to report to the
joint transportation interim committee by September 1, 2005 on the amount of
money exempted and the breakdown of the exemptions between veterans and widows.
