SCR 49 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Urges Congress to pass legislation that exempts military retirement pay from federal income taxation.

This resolution (SCR 49) is a symbolic request from the New Jersey Legislature urging Congress to pass federal legislation exempting military retirement pay from federal income tax. It directly affects military retirees who receive retirement pay based on years of service (typically 20+ years), as this income is currently taxable under federal law. The resolution highlights that military retirees face unique challenges after service and argues they should not pay federal income tax on their retirement benefits. It does not change tax law itself but asks Congress to take action on this issue. (Note: This is a procedural resolution, not a bill with binding effect.)
