California Assembly Appropriations Committee tabled AB-1623 tabled last year without voting on it. It became Assemblymember James Ramos support of Veterans that he submitted AB-46. This bill will exempt military retirees immediately. We need members of the Appropriations Committee (especially the chair Chris Holden and the Deputy Chair) to hear our voices. Please contacted the Appropriations Committee and your Assemblymembers asking them to vote in favor of AB-46 bill.
This year 2023. Assemblymember James Ramos has submitted Assembly Bill (AB) 46, Military Services Retirement and Surviving Spouse Benefit Payment Act, received very positive support in the billâs hearing before the Revenue and Taxation Committee, March 13th.
The next key step in getting AB 46 to a vote in the Assembly will be the Appropriations Committee. Chapter members have been very helpful writing to the Governor and their representatives. Now we need to focus our effort on letters of support to the Appropriations Committee. Your correspondence should encourage support for AB 46 because it will improve California’s economy by retaining a valuable, well educated, and highly talented labor force.
Please join our Grass Roots Advocacy support for Assembly Bill (AB) 46. The passage of this bill will keep our valuable military retirees, who dedicated their lives to our country, their surviving spouses, and their families in California!
California is the only state in the country that does not provide some form of tax relief for military retirees. California continues to lose military retirees and surviving spouses to other states. Military retirees who remain in California provide an available workforce to fill many of the 40,000 technical and over 20,000 medical field vacancies in California. Additionally, many military retirees, surviving spouses, and children will use their federal GI Bill educational benefits to pursue advanced degrees in STEM and medical occupations to add to California’s much needed workforce.
AB 46 will be presented to the Assemblyâs Appropriations Committee in April, please show your support for AB 46 by sending a letter of support to the Appropriations Committee (letter further below).
Please contact the Appropriations Committee before April 15th. Can contact via:

Dear Legion,
Is there any organization that’s proposing to lower disabled veterans property taxes in California? My property taxes go up every year in the state.
