Bill gives tax relief to National Guard members
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The state Senate unanimously gave final approval late Thursday night to legislation geared toward helping the Georgia National Guard members and their families.
Under House Bill 538, the Senate provided both income tax relief and a tax credit for soldiers’ monthly life insurance premiums.
The bill exempts the first $10,000 of non-military pay from state income tax liability. It applies to members of the National Guard who are called to active duty for 90 or more consecutive days.
The bill also pays the $16 monthly premium for the $250,000 in optional life insurance offered through the U.S. Department of Defense.
Lt. Gov. Mark Taylor announced the legislation earlier this year. A bipartisan coalition of Democrats and Republicans helped the measures receive final approval.
