Summary

The joint resolution would place a constitutional amendment on the ballot that expands the definition of "surviving spouse" for the homestead exemption to include spouses of service members who have been designated Gold Star. Those spouses could claim a full exemption of the fair cash value of their home until they remarry, provided they prove Oklahoma residency and have previously qualified for the exemption. The amendment also applies retroactively to 2014 and sets rules for transferring the exemption to a new home.
