Overview
This bill allows certain volunteer firefighters, rescue squad members, and first aid squad members in New Jersey to claim a $5,000 deduction from their State income tax. To qualify, volunteers must have performed a specific percentage of duty hours (either 60% of fire duty or 10% of rescue duty) and meet certain training requirements, such as obtaining Firefighter I certification or completing an approved first aid training program. The bill also establishes procedures for reporting eligible volunteers to the state’s tax and community affairs departments to ensure accurate deduction claims.
