Bill > SCR68

This Concurrent Resolution proposes an amendment to the New Jersey State Constitution that would allow the Legislature to grant a property tax deduction to the surviving spouse of a veteran who served honorably but was not a resident of New Jersey at the time of their death. To qualify, the deceased veteran must have been a resident of New Jersey before entering military service and again after their honorable discharge, and the surviving spouse must be a resident of New Jersey and remain unmarried. This deduction, which is currently $250 annually for eligible veterans and their surviving spouses who meet residency requirements, would be extended under these specific circumstances, providing a potential tax benefit to surviving spouses who are now residents of the state.
