An Act amending Title 51 (Military Affairs) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in disabled veterans' real estate tax exemption, further providing for duty of commission.
HB 636 amends Pennsylvania's disabled veterans' real estate tax exemption law by extending the review period for exemption eligibility from every five years to every ten years. The bill requires the Pennsylvania Veterans' Commission to reassess applicants' economic status at least once every decade to determine if they still qualify for the exemption. This change directly affects disabled veterans currently receiving the tax exemption, as it delays the periodic review of their eligibility. The key provision modifies Section 8904(3) of Title 51 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, shifting the review cycle without altering the exemption's eligibility criteria or benefits. The bill takes effect 60 days after enactment.
