A Joint Resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, further providing for exemptions and special provisions.

Summary

The joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment that would eliminate real‑property taxes on a veteran’s primary residence when the veteran is rated 100% permanently disabled by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, or is blind, paraplegic, or otherwise totally disabled as defined by the VA. The exemption would also extend to an unmarried surviving spouse after the veteran’s death, and political subdivisions could choose to broaden eligibility to veterans with lower disability ratings. The amendment must be passed twice by the General Assembly and then placed on the ballot for voter approval.
