HB 5007 Connecticut House · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT FULLY REIMBURSING MUNICIPALITIES FOR REVENUE LOSS ASSOCIATED WITH A VETERANS PROPERTY TAX CREDIT.

HB 5007 requires the state to fully reimburse municipalities for revenue lost when veterans qualify for a property tax credit under subdivision (83) of section 12-81 of the general statutes. This directly affects municipalities that administer the veterans' property tax exemption, which reduces local tax revenue. The bill's key mechanism is a state-funded reimbursement to offset the financial impact of the exemption. It does not change the veterans' tax credit itself but ensures municipalities are compensated for the revenue loss. (Bill: HB 5007, LCO No. 288)
