Hearing (House)

Feb 17, 2026

Summary

The bill rewrites the application process for a property‑tax break that lets a surviving spouse keep a home after a disabled veteran dies. It lets spouses use Dependency and Indemnity Compensation paperwork instead of a disability rating, and permits a pre‑purchase application that can be approved before the house is bought. The changes aim to speed up relief and reduce paperwork for qualifying families.
