Proposes constitutional amendment permitting Gold Star families to receive veteran's property tax deduction.
ACR 38 proposes a constitutional amendment to extend New Jersey's existing $250 annual property tax deduction for veterans to Gold Star families. Specifically, it would allow parents, siblings, children, legal guardians, or other legal custodians of service members who died on active duty or from combat injuries to claim the deduction - currently available to honorably discharged veterans and unmarried surviving spouses. The amendment would maintain the $250 deduction amount and limit eligibility to one deduction per family, with priority among eligible relatives determined by law. This change requires voter approval through a constitutional referendum, as it modifies the state constitution.
