2024 VFW Minnesota Legislative Priorities
Pass a Clean Veterans Omnibus Bill
The 2023 session produced the second Veterans & Military Omnibus Bill, and this action to separate our legislation has become a Minnesota precedent..
Modernize the Homestead Market Value Exclusion
Veterans who are 100% disabled are exempted from Minnesota property taxes. But when that Veteran passes away, the exemption passes with them. We feel the property tax exemption should stay in place with the surviving spouse as long as they live in the same home.
Amend a law to help our CVSOs receive important documents
Alter Statute 197.63 to include county veteran service officers in the list of entities of which “vital records” documents can be issued without a charge. This would save all kinds of “acting on behalf of” confusion at county recorder offices.
