Bill that would eliminate state income taxes on military pay moves to Gov. Doug Burgum’s desk

As a writer for a news site, I came across an interesting article titled “Bill that would eliminate state income taxes on military pay moves to Gov. Doug Burgum’s desk.” This bill is specifically for military personnel who are still required to pay state taxes on their earned income despite their service to the country.

According to the article, North Dakota is one of the few states that still impose state taxes on active military personnel. However, the bill that is now in the hands of Gov. Doug Burgum seeks to end this tax requirement. The bill states that military members’ income will be exempt from state taxes, in addition to all other forms of military pay, including death benefits and reenlistment bonuses.

This bill comes as a welcome relief for many active military members currently serving in North Dakota. Often, the military salary is not enough to make ends meet, and state taxes can further reduce the already limited income. Exempting military pay from state taxes is a way to show appreciation for the selfless service these brave men and women offer to the country.

This bill would make North Dakota the 10th state to not tax military salaries, and it is hoped that it will set an example for other states to follow. By providing financial relief to military personnel, they will be able to improve their quality of life and focus on their duties without worrying about financial constraints.

In conclusion, this bill is an important step towards recognizing and supporting the sacrifices made by military personnel. By exempting their earned income from state taxes, it will enable military members to better provide for their families and themselves. This is a small price to pay for the brave individuals who have chosen to serve the country.
