Pete Anderson (R-H10, Pine Bluffs); Co-sponsors Rep. Bob Brechtel (R-H38, Casper) and Sen. Kathryn Sessions (D-S7, Cheyenne) 2006 Tax Relief Bill Summary HB 55: Sales and Use Tax Refund HB 69: Home Owner's Tax Credit - 2 HB 84: Sales and Use Tax - Utilities HB 97: Property Tax - Assessment Rate HB 117: Consumer Tax Relief HB 122: Home Owner's Tax Credit - 3 HB 123: Tax Refund to Elderly and Disabled HB 157: Homeowner's Tax Credit - County Option HB 163: Veteran's Property Tax Exemption HB 172: Sales/Use Tax - Removal of 4th Cent HB 187: Sales and Use Tax - Utilities - 2 HJ 5: Distribution of Excess Funds - 2 HJ 7: Distribution of Excess Funds          HB 163 would have extended the veterans' property tax exemption to disabled veterans whose disability was related to his or her military service.          The value of the current veterans' property tax exemption would have been increased under HB 163.          Supporters of HB 163 felt the extension of the property tax exemption to disabled veterans was a just and reasonable thing to do.          There was no particularly vocal opposition to HB 163, although most legislators were more focused on the huge package of competing tax relief measures that were brought to the 2006 session.          The House received HB 163 for introduction but did not consider the bill for an introduction vote.
