SB 296 CALL TO ACTION!! California Vets
CALL TO ACTION: California Disabled Veterans Property Tax Exception - CA SB 296
Quick summary + action 🚨
Huge thanks to @EchoBravoRanch for tracking this and breaking it all down — seriously appreciated.
Where things stand:
SB 296 would provide 100% tax property exemption for 100% P&T and TDIU veterans from 2026–2036. It’s currently in the Assembly Revenue & Taxation Committee “suspense file,” which means it’s waiting for a rapid vote (expected May–June). It needs a simple majority to move forward, then goes to the full Assembly, then the governor.
Important context:
- The suspense file isn’t a “death sentence” anymore — it’s where bills get finalized before quick votes
- This bill already passed the Senate
- No recorded opposition + bipartisan support 👉 It’s looking likely to pass, but it still needs support right now
What we need to do (ASAP before May):
Call the Assembly Revenue & Taxation Committee members — this is the stage where a small number of calls can actually make a difference.
Who to call:
- Mike Gipson (Chair) 📞 (916) 319-2065
- Kate Sanchez (Vice Chair) 📞 (916) 319-2071
- Juan Carrillo 📞 (916) 319-2039
- Carl DeMaio 📞 (916) 319-2075
- Tina McKinnor 📞 (916) 319-2061
- Sharon Quirk-Silva 📞 (916) 319-2067
- Michelle Rodriguez 📞 (916) 319-2053
What to say (keep it short):
“Hi, I’m a California resident and a veteran, and I’m calling to support SB 296. With high inflation and the current economy, this bill would really help provide financial stability for veterans. I’m asking the Assemblymember to vote YES when it comes up in the Revenue & Taxation Committee. Thank you.”
📞 Calls and even voicemails are counted. If a few people speak up, it actually matters at this stage. The goal is 50+ each. Emails get ignored. Reply to this thread once you made your calls.
Let’s get this done before May ASAP.
Semper Fidelis!
