Relates to exempting disabled veterans from certain fees relating to physical modification of a residence to accommodate a disability

Summary

The legislation adds a new section to the General Municipal Law that permits cities, towns and villages to waive or reduce permit, inspection and other building‑department fees for veterans with service‑connected disabilities who need to adapt their primary residence. Veterans must provide proof of status and disability, and each locality will set the specific documentation required. The goal is to lower the cost barrier for accessibility upgrades for disabled veterans.
