Proposes a constitutional amendment granting homestead and personal property tax exemptions to certain veterans proportional to the veteran's disability rating

HJR 144 proposes a constitutional amendment granting Missouri veterans with service-connected disabilities a proportional property tax exemption. It directly affects veterans who received a disability rating from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, exempting their real property (like homes) and personal property from taxes based on their specific disability percentage. For example, a veteran with a 50% disability rating would receive a 50% reduction in property taxes, while those rated 100% would be fully exempt. This amendment requires voter approval in a special election and would take effect for tax years beginning January 1, 2027.
