Relates to defining "period of war" for the alternative veterans' exemption

This bill updates the legal definition of "period of war" to include recent military conflicts for veterans seeking a real property tax exemption. It specifically adds the Persian Gulf conflict, the Global War on Terrorism, and specific NATO operations in Somalia, Bosnia, and Kosovo to the list of qualifying service periods. By amending the Real Property Tax Law, the legislation ensures that veterans who served during these later hostilities remain eligible for the alternative tax exemption. The changes take effect immediately upon passage.
