Bill Summary
This constitutional amendment would extend the veteran's property tax deduction, currently $250 per year, to Gold Star families. The deduction would be equal to those already authorized for honorably discharged wartime veterans. A Gold Star Family in this context is the parent, brother, sister, child, legal guardian, or other legal custodian of a member of the armed services who died while on active duty for the United States. Unmarried surviving spouses of such veterans are already eligible for the benefit. Under the amendment, only one deduction would be permitted per Gold Star Family, and the priority for the deduction among eligible family members would be established by law.
AI Summary
This concurrent resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to extend the veteran's property tax deduction to Gold Star families in New Jersey. The amendment would allow parents, siblings, children, legal guardians, or other legal custodians of service members who died while on active duty or from injuries sustained during active duty to receive the same $250 annual property tax deduction currently available to honorably discharged veterans. The proposed change specifies that only one deduction would be permitted per Gold Star Family, with the priority among eligible family members to be established by law. If approved, the amendment would be submitted to voters at the next general election, with ballots providing a clear explanation of the proposed change and its potential impact. This resolution aims to provide additional financial support to families who have lost a loved one in military service, recognizing their sacrifice by offering a modest property tax relief.
