HB831 Veto Override Vote Fails - Elderly Homeowner and Renter Income Tax Credit
Texas Legislative Events
Summary
Montana House Bill 831, which sought to increase the elderly homeowner and renter income tax credit, failed to achieve veto override on July 23, 2025. The bill had passed both chambers with bipartisan support (House 81-19, Senate 45-5) before Governor vetoed it on June 19, 2025. The override vote falling short in the legislature means the bill does not become law.
What changed
The Montana legislature failed to override the governor's veto of HB831, which proposed expanding income tax credits for elderly homeowners and renters. The bill had passed both chambers during the 2025 Regular Session with House vote 81-19 and Senate vote 45-5 before the veto. The unsuccessful override attempt on July 23, 2025 leaves the existing tax credit structure unchanged.
Affected parties seeking expanded elderly tax relief in Montana will need to await new legislation. Tax practitioners and property owners should continue applying current tax credit provisions. No compliance obligations or deadlines arise from this legislative event.
