Proposed constitutional amendment to exempt certain senior citizens from property taxes.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to exempt certain senior citizens from paying property taxes. Specifically, it would require the Legislature to enact a law granting a property tax exemption for the primary residence owned and occupied by a taxpayer who is age 80 or older. The surviving spouse of an eligible senior citizen would also be allowed to receive the exemption if they meet certain conditions. The amendment would be submitted to the people at the next general election.
