Signed

Expands benefits Lets the 100 percent disabled veteran homestead exemption follow the veteran or surviving spouse to a new home.

Added subsection C to Okla. Const. art. X, § 8E: a new homestead acquired by the qualifying veteran or surviving spouse after the old one is transferred is exempt to the same extent for that year and after. Adopted by the voters on November 4, 2014, together with State Question 771, which created the line of duty surviving spouse exemption in § 8F. Flagged because the Tax Commission's Form 998, revised November 2025, still prints § 8E as adopted in 2004, without subsection C; Form 998-B prints the amended text.
