Bill > S147

This bill extends a tax credit benefit, originally established by the Wounded Warrior Caregivers Relief Act, to more caregivers of veterans. The existing law provides a gross income tax credit to family members caring for armed service members with disabilities that occurred during service after September 11, 2001. This bill revises the definition of a "veteran" to include any citizen and resident of the state honorably discharged from active service in any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, and then extends the tax credit to caregivers of these veterans who meet the updated definition, which also includes specific disability rating requirements from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and a six-month residency with the caregiver.
