What this bill would do
This bill, known as the ``Remotely Piloted Aircraft Crews Tax Relief Act'', proposes changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It aims to expand the exclusion of combat zone compensation from gross income. Specifically, it would include compensation for operating remotely piloted aircraft while in a combat zone. It also covers intelligence, targeting, or command and control services if the Secretary of Defense certifies them as in direct support of those aircraft operations. These changes would apply to compensation received in taxable years ending after the date the act is enacted.
