Proposes constitutional amendment permitting Gold Star families to receive veteran's property tax deduction.
ACR 64 proposes a constitutional amendment to extend New Jersey's existing $250 annual property tax deduction for veterans to Gold Star families. This would allow parents, siblings, children, legal guardians, or legal custodians of service members who died while on active duty or from duty-related injuries to receive the same deduction. The deduction would be limited to one per family, with priority among eligible relatives determined by law. Unmarried surviving spouses of deceased veterans are already covered under current law and would not be affected by this change. The amendment requires voter approval to take effect.
