S3634A-2011 Memo

BILL NUMBER:S3634A

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.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
2010: S.7576 Held in Investigations & Government Operations

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
To be determined.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to taxable
years beginning on or after January 1, 2013.
