The proposed resolution seeks to amend the New Jersey State Constitution to allow the Legislature to extend property tax deductions to the surviving spouses of nonresident veterans under specific conditions. Currently, the Constitution provides a $250 annual property tax deduction for honorably discharged veterans and their surviving spouses, but this amendment would enable the deduction for surviving spouses of veterans who were not residents of New Jersey at the time of their death, provided that the veteran had been a resident of the state for some time before and after their military service.

If approved, this amendment would ensure that surviving spouses of veterans who meet these criteria can receive the same property tax benefits as those whose spouses were residents at the time of death. The resolution outlines the process for submitting this amendment to voters in the next general election, including the necessary publication and ballot language to inform the public about the proposed changes.
