A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
 
AN ACT
 
  relating to the procedure for claiming an exemption from ad valorem
  taxation of the property of a veteran's organization.
         BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
         SECTION 1.  Section 11.43(c), Tax Code, is amended to read as
  follows:
         (c)  An exemption provided by Section 11.13, 11.131, 11.132,
  11.17, 11.18, 11.182, 11.1827, 11.183, 11.19, 11.20, 11.21, 11.22,

  11.29, 11.30, 11.31, or 11.315, once allowed, need not be claimed in
  subsequent years, and except as otherwise provided by Subsection
  (e), the exemption applies to the property until it changes
  ownership or the person's qualification for the exemption changes.  
  However, the chief appraiser may require a person allowed one of the
  exemptions in a prior year to file a new application to confirm the
  person's current qualification for the exemption by delivering a
  written notice that a new application is required, accompanied by
  an appropriate application form, to the person previously allowed
  the exemption.
         SECTION 2.  This Act applies only to ad valorem taxes imposed
  for a tax year beginning on or after the effective date of this Act.
         SECTION 3.  This Act takes effect January 1, 2016.
