By Carol A. Gasser Moore

GEORGIA – Governor Kemp, joined by First Lady Marty Kemp and local, state, and federal leaders, signed the first military retirement income tax exemption in Georgia history, House Bill 1064.  Additional veterans related bills that Governor Kemp signed included HB 884.  It expedites licenses for military spouses, insuring they are issued within 90 days of applying.  Senate Bill 96 allows veterans to use their Veterans Health Identification Card from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs when they seek the service of a public notary.  SB 87 is a bill which honors the late Senator Jack Hill by providing taxpayers an opportunity to donate all or a portion of their annual tax refund to scholarships for disabled veterans.
