The resolution urges Congress to pass legislation that would exempt military retirement pay from federal income taxation. It highlights the significant sacrifices made by members of the Armed Forces and Reserves, who dedicate many years to serving the country, often at the expense of personal and professional opportunities. The resolution notes that military retirement pay is typically awarded after 20 years of active duty service and emphasizes the unique challenges faced by military retirees, such as reintegrating into civilian life and dealing with potential mental health issues.

In recognition of these sacrifices and challenges, the resolution calls for the removal of federal income tax on military retirement pay, asserting that such a measure would provide much-needed relief to those who have served the nation. The New Jersey Legislature intends to communicate this resolution to every member of the state's Congressional delegation, advocating for the financial well-being of military retirees.
