AB16,1,4
1An Act to amend 71.07 (6m) (c) 4.; and
to create 71.05 (6) (b) 34m. of the
2statutes;
relating to: broadening the applicability of an individual income tax
3subtraction for certain reserve components of the armed forces and national
4guard.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, members of a reserve component of the U.S. armed forces
who are called into active federal service or special state service may subtract from
federal adjusted gross income any amount of military pay they receive that is paid
while the member is on active duty. Eligibility to claim the subtraction is dependent
on the members being activated under specified sections of the U.S. Code.
This bill expands current law by making members of a reserve component of the
U.S. armed forces or national guard eligible to claim the subtraction if they are
activated by the secretary of a military department under an additional section of the
U.S. Code that relates to orders to active duty for preplanned missions in support of
the combatant commands.
Because this bill relates to an exemption from state or local taxes, it may be
referred to the Joint Survey Committee on Tax Exemptions for a report to be printed
as an appendix to the bill.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
