TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation
to veteran eligibility for real property tax exemptions
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
This bill adds a new paragraph b-1 to subdivision 2 of section 458-a
of the Real Property Tax Law, which permits each county, city, town or
village to adopt a local law to authorize veterans who have not been
discharged or released from a current, subsequent military service, but
who would otherwise qualify for both the exemptions of paragraphs (a)
and (b) of subdivision 2 of section 458-a to receive both exemptions.
PURPOSE & JUSTIFICATION:
This bill permits municipalities to enact a local law to grant the addi-
tional combat veteran exemption to persons who have been discharged from
the service (enabling them to receive the regular veteran exemption),
then re-enlisted, served in combat, and are now returned and reside in
New York State, but have not yet been again discharged. The wars in
