Revises gross income tax rates for joint filers and similar taxpayers and designated as Marriage Penalty Elimination Act.

Maddy summaryThis bill (A1118) revises New Jersey's tax rates for married couples filing jointly, aiming to reduce the "marriage penalty" where joint filers pay more tax than if they filed separately. It increases the threshold for the lowest tax bracket from $20,000 to $40,000 for joint filers and changes the tax rate for income between $40,000 and $70,000 from 2.5% to 1.75%. These changes apply to taxable years beginning January 1, 2020, and directly affect married couples who file joint tax returns in New Jersey.

Directs DCA to end veteran homelessness within three years.

Maddy summaryThis bill directs New Jersey's Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to end veteran homelessness within three years. It requires the DCA to develop a statewide plan using specific mechanisms: creating a comprehensive by-name list of veterans at risk of homelessness, prioritizing veterans for existing housing and emergency assistance benefits, coordinating with service providers to share data, connecting veterans to health and job resources, and implementing "Housing First" principles (permanent housing as quickly as possible). The plan must be updated every three years, with annual progress reports to the Governor and Legislature. It directly affects all New Jersey veterans experiencing or at risk of homelessness, regardless of their discharge status or length of service.

Expands purposes for which civil asset forfeiture funds may be used by law enforcement agency.

Maddy summaryThis bill expands the allowable uses of civil asset forfeiture funds (money from property seized in criminal cases) by New Jersey law enforcement agencies. It specifically adds community outreach, diversity training for officers, and minority recruitment programs to the list of permitted "law enforcement purposes." The bill codifies these additions to the existing definition, which already included crime prevention education, equipment purchases, and federal grant matching. These funds remain restricted to the law enforcement agency that contributed to the case that generated the forfeiture, and cannot be used for general budgetary purposes.
