Flagship Priority
Keep Military Retirees in California
CosponsorSDMAC is a cosponsor of this bill, which would nearly double the state income tax exclusion on military retirement and Survivor Benefit Plan pay, from twenty thousand dollars to forty thousand dollars, and tie future limits to inflation. It is one of the clearest levers California has to stop retiring service members from leaving the state.
