California AB901 would allow hiring and promotion preferences for eligible spouses of active duty service members, veterans, and disabled veterans.

California AB901 amends the Government Code to allow hiring and promotion preferences for eligible spouses of active duty service members, veterans, widows or widowers of veterans, and spouses of 100 percent disabled veterans. These spouses can receive the same credit as the service member or veteran for any selection test related to hiring and promotional preferences. The bill also allows the use of a military document signed by a commanding officer to verify military service for active duty members.
