Proposes constitutional amendment to extend eligibility for veterans' property tax deduction and disabled veterans' property tax exemption to certain veterans released under other than honorable circumstances.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to New Jersey that would allow veterans released from military service under conditions other than honorable to qualify for state property tax deductions and exemptions. The change would expand eligibility for the $250 annual property tax deduction and the disabled veterans' property tax exemption to include veterans who were discharged under other than honorable circumstances, provided they meet other residency and service requirements. The amendment also includes provisions for surviving spouses of veterans and establishes how the deduction applies to residents of continuing care retirement communities. If passed, this change would modify the state constitution to broaden the definition of eligible veterans for tax benefits without altering the existing benefits for those with honorable discharges.
