Income tax exclusion for guard members created

Senators approved a bill April 11 intended to help recruit and retain Nebraska National Guard members.

LB1394, sponsored by Gordon Sen. Tom Brewer at the request of Gov. Jim Pillen, allows guard members to exclude certain income — including income received for attending drills, annual training and military schools — from their federal adjusted gross income for state tax purposes beginning with tax year 2025.

The bill passed on a vote of 41-0.
