Proposes a constitutional amendment relating to property tax exemptions for certain disabled veterans
HJR 138 proposes a constitutional amendment to expand Missouri's property tax exemption for disabled veterans. It would exempt the homestead property (primary residence) of veterans certified by the VA to receive 100% disability compensation for a service-connected injury, plus their surviving spouses who continue living in that home. The amendment repeals the current constitutional provision and replaces it with specific definitions, ensuring the exemption applies to veterans meeting federal VA criteria and extends to surviving spouses under defined conditions. This change would directly affect qualifying disabled veterans and their surviving spouses in Missouri by providing property tax relief on their primary residence.
