This proposed constitutional amendment (HJR 1082) would create partial property tax exemptions for Oklahoma veterans with service-connected disabilities below 100%. It directly affects veterans honorably discharged from military service who have a disability rating of 10% to 99% and are certified by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The bill establishes specific exemption amounts based on disability percentage: $5,000 for 10-29%, $7,500 for 30-49%, $10,000 for 50-69%, and $12,000 for 70-99%. To qualify, applicants must prove Oklahoma residency and meet existing homestead exemption requirements. The measure requires voter approval as a constitutional amendment.
