New Jersey senator proposes property tax relief for first responders injured in the line of duty

NEW JERSEY – Senator Jon Bramnick (R-21) introduced legislation, SCR-120, that would amend New Jersey’s Constitution to provide a one-hundred percent property tax exemption for police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical technicians who are injured in the line of duty and qualify for an accidental disability pension.

This exemption would apply exclusively to the first responder’s primary residence.

“This is a commonsense bill that would provide a full property tax exemption to our brave first responders who have been injured in the line of duty,” said Bramnick. “If they suffer a debilitating injury, the men and women who serve our communities shouldn’t be burdened with property taxes on their primary home.”

This initiative was brought to Senator Bramnick’s attention by Antonio Marsillo, a decorated NYPD Sergeant.
