What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, members of a reserve component of the U.S. armed forces

who are called into active federal service or special state service may subtract from

federal adjusted gross income any amount of military pay they receive that is paid

while the member is on active duty. Eligibility to claim the subtraction is dependent

on the members being activated under specified sections of the U.S. Code.

This bill expands current law by making members of a reserve component of the

U.S. armed forces or national guard eligible to claim the subtraction if they are

activated by the secretary of a military department under an additional section of the

U.S. Code that relates to orders to active duty for preplanned missions in support of

the combatant commands.

Because this bill relates to an exemption from state or local taxes, it may be

referred to the Joint Survey Committee on Tax Exemptions for a report to be printed

as an appendix to the bill.
