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

HB 1257 would exempt veterans rated 100% permanently and totally disabled (or compensated at that level) by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs from paying property taxes, with a local option for partial exemptions at lower disability ratings. The exemption extends to certain unmarried surviving spouses, including those of eligible veterans and service members who died in the line of duty, are prisoners of war, or are missing in action.
