Title of bill
An act to amend the tax law, in relation to World War II veterans
Purpose
To amend the law so that it exempts World War II veterans from state personal income tax.
Summary of provisions
The Tax law is amended by adding a new section 616-a which exempts World War II veterans from the state income tax. World War II veterans are defined as those who served in the armed forces from December 7, 1941 to and including December 31, 1946.
Justification
As the generation which fought in both the Pacific and the Atlantic grows older, many of these individuals find themselves on a fixed income, unable to deal with many medical and cost of living expenses. In attempt to alleviate some of their stress this bill would exempt them from the state income tax.
