What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "No Tax on Drill Pay Act," seeks to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The primary goal is to exclude compensation received for inactive-duty training from gross income. It updates the definition of a "qualified military benefit" to include this specific type of compensation. These changes would apply to any compensation received after the Act is enacted.
