Governor Newsom signs legislation to support California’s veterans
What the new laws do
✅ Allow counties to refund improperly paid property taxes to disabled veterans and their surviving spouses, in any amount, without these individuals having to first file a claim for refund.
✅ Reduce the burden on military-connected pupils and their families and to publicly recognize and designate specific public schools as California Purple Star schools.
✅ Simplify income screenings, allowing more veterans to qualify for affordable housing.
