AN ACT to amend the real property tax law, in relation to veteran occu-

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Section 458 of the real property tax law is amended by
adding a new subdivision 11 to read as follows:
11. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF LAW TO THE CONTRARY, THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION SHALL APPLY TO ANY REAL PROPERTY OWNED BY A
LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY, AS DEFINED BY SUBDIVISION (M) OF SECTION ONE
HUNDRED TWO OF THE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY LAW, IF SUCH LIMITED
LIABILITY COMPANY IS OWNED BY SUCH PERSON OR PERSONS TO WHOM THE
EXEMPTION WOULD BE GRANTED HAD SUCH PERSON OR PERSONS OWNED THE REAL
PROPERTY IN QUESTION RATHER THAN THE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY.
S 2. Paragraph (c) of subdivision 1 of section 458-a of the real prop-
erty tax law, as amended by chapter 100 of the laws of 1988, is amended
to read as follows:
(c) "Qualified owner" means a veteran, the spouse of a veteran [or],
the unremarried surviving spouse of a veteran, OR A LIMITED LIABILITY
COMPANY, AS DEFINED BY SUBDIVISION (M) OF SECTION ONE HUNDRED TWO OF THE
LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY LAW, IF SUCH LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY IS

HAD SUCH PERSON OR PERSONS OWNED THE REAL PROPERTY IN QUESTION RATHER
THAN THE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY. Where property is owned by more than
one qualified owner, the exemption to which each is entitled may be
combined. Where a veteran is also the unremarried surviving spouse of a
veteran, such person may also receive any exemption to which the
deceased spouse was entitled.
