What this bill would do

This joint resolution encourages States to create "Veterans Tax Relief Weekends." These weekends would coincide with Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Veterans Day. The goal is to provide financial relief to veterans and members of the Armed Forces. By implementing these periods, communities can recognize the service and sacrifice of military members. Participation by States would be voluntary to preserve State authority over tax policy.
