I received this from one of our PPC members in the blog. Can anyone shed any light or information on this? I am not aware of any program or discussion on this at a meeting, but would love to be able to let our members know if there is anything out there to assist veterans.

Do you have the citation that Leslie and Michael Gan referenced regarding business licenses and veterans? They came back from a PPC meeting 6-8 months ago and said that veterans were not required to pay for city business licenses according to some state law. I would love to put that information into our newsletter but, have been unable to get a reference our veterans can use with their respective cities.

Check with Don Benson. He doesn't have to pay for his business license because he is a veteran.
Maybe starting here will help:
California Business & Professions Code Section 16102:
"16102. Every soldier, sailor or marine of the United States who has
received an honorable discharge or a release from active duty under
honorable conditions from such service may hawk, peddle and vend any
goods, wares or merchandise owned by him, except spirituous, malt,
vinous or other intoxicating liquor, without payment of any license,
tax or fee whatsoever, whether municipal, county or State, and the
board of supervisors shall issue to such soldier, sailor or marine,
without cost, a license therefor."
It does seem a little unclear as to what types of business would qualify for this waiver. I suppose it never hurts to ask.
