S 2325 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act providing for prisoners of war

This bill amends Massachusetts state law to grant a lifetime income tax exemption for individuals classified as prisoners of war. It defines a prisoner of war as someone who was part of the U.S. military forces and was captured, separated, and incarcerated by an enemy during an armed conflict. The change directly affects veterans who meet these specific criteria by allowing them to exclude income from their state tax returns for the rest of their lives.
