U.S. Representative Mike Rogers (AL-03), Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, has expressed support for a new Alabama law that exempts troops from paying state income tax while deployed or mobilized.

"Governor Ivey and our gifted state legislators continue to cement Alabama’s place as the most military-friendly state in the country. This law will make a real difference for our troops and their families while they are deployed or mobilized," said Rogers.

Rogers specifically commended Representative Ed Oliver and Senator Andrew Jones for their efforts as chairmen of the House and Senate committees overseeing military and veterans issues. "It is unconscionable that our men and women in uniform are taxed on income earned while they are fighting for our country, and I plan to pursue further income tax exemptions for deployed and mobilized troops at the federal level," he added.
