Overview
This bill expands New Jersey’s property tax exemption for disabled veterans. It allows all honorably discharged veterans with a service-connected permanent disability, including those with 100% disability, to receive a proportional exemption based on their disability rating. Furthermore, it extends this exemption to veterans suffering from mental illness and allows the surviving spouse, civil union partner, or domestic partner of a deceased veteran to receive the same exemption until remarriage or a new partnership is formed. The bill also clarifies the definition of ‘mental illness’ and ‘surviving civil union partner’ and ‘surviving domestic partner’ for the purpose of this exemption.
