    Klarides Sisters Renew Call to Provide Tax Relief for Disabled Veterans

    HARTFORD – House Republican Leader Themis Klarides and her sister State Rep. Nicole Klarides-Ditria are continuing to fight to pass legislation that helps disabled veterans.

    House Bill 5231 will allow municipalities, with their legislative body’s approval, to freeze property taxes on homes owned by certain disabled veterans and their spouse or surviving spouse. To be eligible, the veteran must have a service-connected disability and either the veteran or spouse must have lived in Connecticut for at least one year.

    House Republican Leader Themis Klarides said, “In these difficult economic times, we are aware that municipalities are struggling financially. That is why this bill was written to provide towns and cities an option to offer this opportunity rather than mandate it.”

    Rep. Klarides continued, “Veterans who are injured as a result of their service live on fixed incomes and freezing their property taxes will help make living in our state more affordable.”

    Rep. Klarides-Ditria added, “Letting our local governments decide to freeze taxes for disabled veterans is something they should be allowed to do. Disabled veterans deserve this tax relief, and I will continue to fight to get this legislation passed.”

    The Veterans’ Affairs Committee passed this legislation unanimously. Before the bill can become law it must pass both the House and Senate.
