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

New York S10398, known as the "disabled veteran home modification act," amends the general municipal law to exempt disabled veterans from certain fees related to modifying their homes to accommodate disabilities. This includes permit fees, plan review fees, inspection fees, and reinspection fees. To qualify for this exemption, veterans must provide proof of their veteran status and documentation that the modifications are necessary to accommodate their service-connected disability. The bill allows local governing bodies to specify the required documentation for fee reductions or waivers.
