House Joint Resolution 24 proposes an amendment to the state constitution to authorize the legislature by general law to provide a partially disabled veteran, and under certain conditions the surviving spouse of a partially disabled veteran, an entitlement to a property tax exemption for a percentage of the market value of the disabled veteran's residence homestead that is equal to the veteran's disability rating if the homestead was donated to the veteran by a charitable organization at no cost to the veteran. The resolution authorizes the legislature to provide by general law additional eligibility requirements for the exemption. The resolution provides that a limitation or restriction on a disabled veteran's entitlement to an occupation tax exemption for part of the value of the disabled veteran's property, including a limitation or restriction on the amount of such an occupation tax exemption, does not apply to the property tax exemption.
