Proposes constitutional amendment to provide that disabled veterans may have served at any time in order to receive benefits provided by Constitution or by law.
ACR 112 proposes a constitutional amendment to allow disabled veterans to qualify for state benefits regardless of when they served. Currently, disabled veterans must have served "in time of war or other emergency" to receive benefits like civil service hiring preferences and property tax deductions. The amendment would remove this time-of-service requirement, enabling veterans with service-connected disabilities who served at any time to access these benefits. This change would directly affect disabled veterans who served during peacetime or non-emergency periods. The bill seeks to update eligibility under New Jersey's Constitution for veterans' benefits.
