Arizona SB 1444 is being sponsored by Senator Gail Griffin along with 15 other Senate and House of Representative Co-Sponsors. SB 1444 will increase the income tax exemption for Military retirees from the current $2500 to $12,500, then to $25,000 and then exempt all Military retiree pay beginning in 2022. This will be an incentive for them to choose Arizona as the place to retire and begin their new careers. While this Bill addresses reducing state income tax for Military Retirees it will, in part, be replaced with sales tax for the cars, property taxes on homes and so on that they will spend their money on. A draft copy of the bill is attached for your use.
Please consider sending the draft message at the end of this Email to all Arizona State Senators and Representatives ASAP to give them a heads up on this draft Bill and encourage their support.

Draft Message
______________________________________________________________________________
Dear Legislator,
As an Arizona Veteran, I encourage you to Co-Sponsor and/or support Senator Gail Griffin and some 15 other members of the Senate and House of Representative who are co-sponsoring the attached SB 1444: Income Tax Subtraction; Military Retirement.
SB 1444 will make Arizona an even more most Military Friendly State in the Nation! It will increase the income tax exemption for Military retirees over the years and eventually eliminate all Military Retirement pay from taxation by the State of Arizona. This proposal will draw 40ish year old Military Retirees to Arizona. These retirees have proven records, have diverse skills, are well-educated, and will be a huge asset to Arizona if we can incentivize them to make this their home. While this proposal will reduce state income tax paid by Military retirees, that will in part be replaced with sales tax for the cars, sales taxes and property taxes on homes, and other things that they will spend their retirement and second career pay on. Please join Senator Griffin and the 15 other members of the Senate and House of Representative in supporting this Bill.
Respectfully,
