State Sen. Jeff Gordon (R-Woodstock), ranking member of the Veterans’ and Military Affairs Committee, yesterday provided testimony in support of a measure that would provide help with a property tax exemption for Veterans with service-connected permanent and total disabilities. The bill was heard in a March 20 public hearing of the legislature’s Finance, Revenue, and Bonding Committee.

“This bill honors the sacrifices made by our Veterans who have endured service-connected permanent and total disabilities by providing them with a well-deserved property tax exemption. As a state senator and the ranking member of the Veterans’ and Military Affairs Committee, I have had the privilege of meeting many Veterans, and learning of their dedication, bravery, and selflessness in defense of our nation.

“It is our duty to ensure that they are properly cared for upon their return home, and this proposed legislation is a crucial step in fulfilling that duty. During a public forum that I co-hosted in the legislature, I heard from many Veterans and Veteran organizations about the property tax issue,” he said.

The 2024 legislative session concludes on May 8.
