BILL NUMBER:S2205A
TITLE OF BILL: An act to direct the division of veterans' affairs to
annually remind assessors of the eligibility of veterans of certain
hostilities for the veterans alternative real property tax exemption
PURPOSE: This bill would require the division of veterans' affairs,
in consultation with the department of taxation and finance, pursuant
to its training responsibilities, within thirty days of this act and
at least annually, to reinforce and/or remind assessors of the fact
that the Persian Gulf conflict referenced in section 458-a of the real
property tax law includes, but not limited to, hostilities in
Afghanistan and Iraq, also known as Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation
Enduring Freedom, Operation New Dawn and Operation Inherent Resolve.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1: See Purpose.
Section 2: Effective Date.
JUSTIFICATION: There have reportedly been several cases statewide
where assessors have rejected the application of veterans who have
served in Afghanistan and Iraq because assessors did not realize these
brave men and women are covered under the Persian Gulf conflict for
purposes of the alternative veterans' real property tax law.
