🚨 Attention CA COA Members! 🚨 Important legislation is moving through the California legislature that will benefit retired USPHS officers! AB 53, introduced by Assemblymember Ramos, would provide a state personal income tax exemption for military retirees and their surviving spouses from all eight uniformed services. Make your voice heard! Contact your Assemblymember today and urge them to support AB 53. (fb)
