Given the small percentage of those impacted, I lean towards helping veterans get a significant personal relief at a fairly negligible cost to the government.
Virginia does that, too. This amendment is expanding the idea to automobile taxes, as well. Virginia also allows the spouse of a deceased disabled veteran to maintain the exemption if they do not remarry and/or move.
