Extends eligibility for certain veterans' gross income tax exemptions to include veterans of all Uniformed Services of United States.

This bill (S 1194) changes New Jersey's tax law to expand a $6,000 gross income tax exemption for veterans. Currently, only veterans of the "Armed Forces" (military branches) qualify. The bill updates the definition to include all "Uniformed Services of the United States," as defined federally, which now covers veterans of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) in addition to military veterans. This change directly affects eligible veterans from these additional service branches by allowing them to deduct $6,000 from their New Jersey taxable income. The amendment applies to all qualifying veterans regardless of which uniformed service they served in.
