SB 888 modifies how California calculates household income for disabled veterans seeking enhanced property tax exemptions. By excluding service-connected disability payments from income calculations, the bill makes it easier for disabled veterans to qualify for the larger $150,000 property tax exemption rather than the standard $100,000 exemption. This change is temporary: it applies only through January 1, 2037, when the amended section automatically repeals and the law reverts to its current definition of “household income” unless the Legislature takes action to extend or make the policy permanent.
