MO HJR81

Submits to Missouri voters a constitutional amendment to expand the homestead property tax exemption to include military veterans with 100% service-connected disabilities as certified by the appropriate federal veterans agency.

Adds veterans with 100% disabilities to the existing exemption category that previously only included former prisoners of war with total service-connected disabilities.

The amendment is to be voted on at the general election on Tuesday following the first Monday in November 2014, or at a special election called by the governor.

Maintains all other existing property tax exemptions including those for state and county property, nonprofit cemeteries, manufacturers' inventories, charitable organizations, religious institutions, and schools.
