48-The people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1. This measure shall be known, and may be cited, as the Military Services Retirement and Surviving Spouse Benefit Payment Act.SEC. 2. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:(a) Servicemembers are eligible to retire from the military after 20 years of service. These retirees devoted the prime years of their life to defending the freedom of all Americans.(b) To preserve the current policy of an all-volunteer force while still maintaining critical skills and readiness requires the retention of qualified military personnel, both enlisted and officers. This retention of military professionals also saves the costs to the taxpayer associated with training replacement personnel in essential skills.(c) Retired members of the nations two nonarmed uniformed services, which consist of the commissioned corps of the United States Public Health Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps, also provide valuable service to the nations health and environmental safety.(d) Providing a state income tax exclusion to retirees of the uniformed services not only signifies the gratitude of Californians for these men and women who chose to serve our country, it also benefits the state and local economies by helping to retain skilled and motivated individuals in California.(e) The number one issue for employers in California is attracting a qualified workforce. Approximately 60,000 high-tech jobs are unfilled. Uniformed service retirees are highly skilled, often in areas requiring technical and management expertise. These men and women often continue to be valuable assets to our schools, local charities, and nonprofit organizations.(f) Substantial new federal funds are infused into the state and local economies not only from retirement pay, but also from the full taxation of their second careers. These retirees may also qualify for federal veterans benefits, which further bring new monies into the state.(g) The United States Department of Defenses Survivor Benefit Plan allows a retiree to ensure, after death, a continuous lifetime annuity for their dependents. The maximum annuity for a spouse is based on 55 percent of the members retirement pay. Eligible children may also be beneficiaries. State income taxation of these funds, which are critical to the economic well-being of those who have suffered the loss of a husband, wife, father, or mother, can place the surviving family members in risk of falling into the state and local safety nets.SEC. 3.
