What S 2291 does, verified May 5, 2026

The proposed legislation aims to expand the assessment exemption for living quarters for a parent or grandparent. The exemption is currently only applicable to construction or reconstruction that occurred after a specific date, and it only applies during taxable years when at least one parent or grandparent maintains a primary place of residence in the living quarters. The exemption will now apply to construction or reconstruction that occurred subsequent to the effective date of the bill, and it will also apply during taxable years when at least one parent or grandparent maintains a primary place of residence in the living quarters. The bill will take effect immediately.
