Relating to: the University of Wisconsin Missing-in-Action Recovery and Identification Project, funding for the veterans housing and recovery program, eligibility changes for the veterans and surviving spouses property tax credit, and making an appropriation. (FE)
SB 411 amends Wisconsin's property tax credit for veterans and surviving spouses, requiring those with disability ratings below 100% to claim credit only up to their disability percentage or on the first $350,000 of property value. It also increases funding for the veterans housing and recovery program by $900,000 in 2025-26 and $1.05 million in 2026-27. Additionally, the bill appropriates $180,000 annually from 2025-27 for the University of Wisconsin's Missing-in-Action Recovery Project, mandating detailed annual reports on mission outcomes and expenditures. These changes directly affect eligible veterans, surviving spouses, and the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs.
