The proposed resolution seeks to amend the New Jersey Constitution to grant a 100 percent property tax exemption for the primary residences of police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical technicians who have sustained injuries in the line of duty and qualify for an accidental disability pension. This amendment aims to provide financial relief to these first responders who have been injured while serving their communities.
If the amendment is approved by the voters, the New Jersey Legislature will be required to enact a law to implement this property tax exemption. The proposed amendment will be presented to the public during the next general election, with appropriate measures taken to ensure it is widely communicated to voters in advance. The ballot will include a clear question for voters to express their support or opposition to the amendment.
