Summary

The bill adds two new sections to the Revenue and Taxation Code that let qualified California taxpayers exclude up to $20,000 of military retirement pay and up to $20,000 of survivor benefit plan annuities from state taxable income. It applies to retirees and surviving spouses whose adjusted gross income is below $125,000 (or $250,000 for joint filers) and is effective for tax years 2027 through 2037. The measure aims to honor service members, keep them in California, and track the program’s impact.
