The Strengthening Resources for our Schools Act provides a tax break to retired military members and law enforcement officers who work as school resource officers in schools. Specifically, the bill excludes their retirement income from federal taxation while they are employed as school resource officers. Additionally, individuals who serve as school resource officers for at least 10 years receive a lifetime exemption, meaning their retirement income remains tax-free even after they leave the position. To qualify, individuals must pass background checks and meet their state's peace officer training and standards requirements. The bill requires law enforcement agencies to notify the IRS when school resource officers begin and end their employment, with penalties for agencies that fail to report, and the changes take effect for tax years beginning after the bill is enacted.
