S 1811 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to 100% disabled veteran excise tax exemptions

This bill amends Massachusetts state law to grant excise tax exemptions specifically to veterans who have received a 100% permanent disability rating from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The change directly affects these fully disabled veterans by allowing them to be exempt from certain property taxes that are currently available to other disabled individuals. By adding this specific category to the existing statute, the legislation ensures that veterans with the highest level of service-connected disability qualify for the same tax relief as other disabled persons. The measure focuses solely on updating the legal definition of eligible recipients without altering the tax rates or the overall structure of the excise tax system.
