The Tennessee Conservative [By Rebecca Scott] –
Senator Rusty Crowe (R-Johnson City-District 03) has sponsored a bill designed to assist disabled veterans in Tennessee.
If passed, this bill would provide property tax relief to those veterans who have served our country and are now unable to be employed due to total disability directly related to their time spent in the military.
Senate Bill 1725 (SB1725), “As introduced, expands eligibility for property tax relief to a veteran who acquired a service-connected disability that is determined by the United States department of veterans affairs to be permanent and total due to individual unemployability. – Amends TCA Section 67-5-704.”
As a veteran himself, Senator Crowe sees the value in assisting those who have served and sacrificed for their country. Prioritizing veteran care, assistance, resources and respect is a priority of many of Tennessee’s conservative lawmakers and their constituents.
This bill has been placed on the Senate State and Local Government Committee Calendar for March 12, 2024.
To voice your support or concern regarding this bill, contact the committee prior to their scheduled meeting.
