Exempts disabled veterans from certain fees for modifying their homes to accommodate disabilities.

The bill, known as the "disabled veteran home modification act," amends the general municipal law to allow cities, towns, or villages to waive or reduce building department fees for disabled veterans making necessary modifications to their homes. These fees include permit fees, plan review fees, inspection fees, and reinspection fees. To qualify for this exemption, a veteran must provide proof of veteran status and documentation of their service-connected disability. The bill does not require any refunds for fees paid before the effective date.
