TRENTON – Legislation sponsored by Senators Jim Beach and Jeff Van Drew that will allow taxpayers to make voluntary contributions on their income tax returns to provide support to our state’s National Guard members and their families has been signed into law.
“Members of our National Guard are often deployed for extended periods of time, and while these brave men and women are serving our country, their spouses in many cases take on the sole responsibility of running a household and caring for their families. This can take a toll on everyone involved,” said Senator Beach (D-Camden), chair of the Senate Military and Veterans Affairs Committee. “Providing our residents, through this donation process, with a means to lend support to our troops and their families as they cope with the demands of military life is just a small contribution we can make in return for their sacrifice.”
