Summary

The bill would allow counties to increase the property‑tax exemption for owners 65 years or older or permanently disabled, potentially up to a $40,000 minimum, but only if voters approve a related constitutional amendment. It also repeals a rule that capped levy rates when property appraisals rise. The changes would affect eligible homeowners and local tax authorities.
