Bill overview
This bill amends California’s Government Code to extend veterans’ preference benefits to the spouses of active duty service members, as well as widows/widowers of veterans and spouses of 100% disabled veterans. It allows authorizing employers to grant hiring and promotion preferences to these eligible spouses when they successfully pass entrance exams. The bill clarifies definitions and streamlines the process for claiming these preferences.
