Provides $1,000 income tax deduction for certain volunteer firefighters and members of first aid and rescue squads.

This New Jersey bill provides a $1,000 annual deduction from state gross income for eligible volunteer firefighters and first aid/rescue squad members. To qualify, volunteers must serve the entire tax year and meet specific service thresholds: firefighters need 60% attendance at alarms/drills plus Firefighter I certification, while first aid/rescue members need 10% attendance at alarms/drills plus approved training or EMT certification. Fire and rescue departments must submit annual lists of qualifying members to state health and community affairs agencies for verification. The deduction applies to taxable years starting after the bill's enactment date.
