The House of Representatives unanimously passed a bill that I co-sponsored that would support veterans who have been disabled during service. This is a small way to say, “thank you" to our heroes.
House Bill 5491 establishes a property tax exemption for veterans who have a service-connected permanent and total disability rating as determined by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs. The exemption will be used for a home that is a primary residence, but if a qualified veteran does not own a home, the exemption will apply to a single motor vehicle they own.
More than 1,200 veterans in Connecticut are totally and permanently disabled as a result of their service.
