REVENUE DEPARTMENT: Requests the Department of Revenue to study state and local taxes and vehicle registration fees collected from active-duty military and veterans. (EN +$3,855 GF EX See Note)

This Senate Resolution requests the Louisiana Department of Revenue and related agencies to study how to reduce state and local taxes and vehicle registration fees for active-duty military members, veterans, and their spouses. The study will examine the costs and requirements of offering tax exemptions when these individuals purchase or register vehicles in Louisiana, as well as the feasibility of exempting imported vehicles. It also aims to review current laws and policies in other states to identify effective strategies for encouraging veterans to retire and relocate to Louisiana. The agencies involved must submit their findings and recommendations to the Senate by January 8, 2025.
