On behalf of the Officers and members of American Legion Alexander Hamilton Post 448 in San Francisco this action is welcomed and long over due. The War Veterans in this Post are all Homosexuals, having served in in all branches of the United States Armed Forces.
It is about time California honor those that served in the US Military. As stated before California is the ONLY state plus the District of Columba that still tax Military Retirement pay. With a surplus of $75 billion California can easily afford to give this benefit to retired military living in the state. This change needs happen ASAP.
According to a recent article on Military.com, in 2022, six more states have joined the ranks of those exempting, or partially exempting, military retirement pay from state income tax liability. This leaves ONLY CALIFORNIA and the District of Columbia fully taxing military retirement income. NOT a list you should be proud to be #1 on.

That was a one-time article, check the https://calegion.org/legislative-commission/ webpage for more information on national legislation. We get an update from the national office every Friday and it gets posted the same day.
As for legislation in California contact the Legislative Commission webpage, all the most current contact information for commissioners is listed there. Maybe one of them can give ou and update.
As a combat Veteran who did volunteer work at VA and who regularly supports
Veterans’ organizations, I am leery of the PACT Act.
The real “honey pot burners” are in Congress. They held back because of the $400 Billion rider, but then succumbed to the politicized fear of not being reelected to their ‘lifetime’ positions in congress.
Then American Legion gives extra credit to Jon Steward one of the most notable liberals. I appreciate all that entertainers do for Veterans, but not when it gets politicized and leads to Congressional financial irresponsibility.
Let us not forget transparency as the article states: “It is currently unclear if any significant changes to the bill were made before the House vote.”
Finally, make sure Biden gets credit for a “Whitehouse statement” by virtue of occupying office space after his disastrous “withdrawal” from Afghanistan costing 13 American soldiers lives and countless executions in Afghanistan.
Veteran’s organizations had best learn the lesson of Social Security. Supporting any and all legislation that purports to support Veterans is suspect. When congress raids the funds like they have raided Social Security, Veterans could lose a lot of much needed support. In Camaraderie, Duster
The state government has until 2033 to act on it? Are you kidding me? When 2033 rolls around the Democrats will probably not act on it passing
