AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes the federal tax code so that money people receive as damages in lawsuits brought under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 would not count as taxable income. The Camp Lejeune Justice Act allows people to sue over exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune, a Marine Corps base in North Carolina. The tax exclusion would apply only to damages received after the bill becomes law.
