The Home Safety Bill
Vermont bill helps pay for home safety changes
An act relating to a tax credit for home modifications for safety and livability
Good for everyday people ·
This bill would give you money back on your taxes if you make your home safer or easier to live in, helping you afford important updates.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill would help people pay for things like grab bars, ramps, or wider doorways to make homes safer and more accessible. It could help older people or those with disabilities stay in their homes longer. This is a good idea because it helps regular people directly. The state would pay for this by giving up some tax money. People should tell their lawmakers if they think this is a good way to use state money.
