Subsection (a)(4) of this section is restated as a
definition of "surviving spouse" for brevity and to
clarify that the former reference "in the event of the
blind person's death, the spouse ... until remarriage"
means the "surviving spouse".

In subsections (b) and (c) of this section, the
phrases "[e]xcept as provided in subsection (d) of
this section" are added to clarify that the exemption
is limited.

In the introductory language of subsection (b) of this
section, the defined term "assessment" is substituted
for the former term "value", to clarify the criteria

defined term "surviving spouse" is substituted for the

phrase "[e]xcept as provided in paragraph (2) of this
subsection" is added to clarify that the exemption is
limited.

"supervisor" is substituted for the former words
"assessing authority", to specifically identify the
individual responsible for prorating the exemption.

Also in subsection (e) of this section, the phrase
"applies for the exemption" is substituted for the
former, inaccurate reference "from the date when the
person ... shall have acquired title to the property"
to clarify when a blind individual or surviving spouse
is eligible to receive an exemption under this
section.

In subsection (f)(1) of this section, the defined term
"municipal corporation" is substituted for the former
word "municipality", for clarity.

Also in subsection (f)(1) of this section, the defined
term "law" is substituted for the former words

Also in subsection (f)(1) of this section, the term
"municipal corporation" is added to modify "property
tax" to clarify what tax can be refunded.

limitation "that such refunds shall not be made for
any year or portion thereof prior to June 1, 1950" is
deleted as obsolete.
