These vaccines are being studied as one possible cause of chronic multi-symptom illnesses in Gulf War Veterans.
Pyridostigmine bromide (PB): An anti-nerve agent pill used as a pretreatment to protect military personnel in the event of an attack with the nerve agent soman. So far, research shows that there’s no evidence to link PB to multi-symptom illnesses in Gulf War Veterans, but we continue to monitor these Veterans’ health issues.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) | Placer County, CA
If an aircraft is moved to another county, and an exemption application is filed in the second county, should the second county charge the fee? 

Yes. The application filed in the second county is the initial application in that county.

What should I do when I sell my aircraft?

Contact the Federal Aviation Administration, and notify the Assessor’s Office in writing with information regarding the sale or file an Aircraft Affidavit (PDF).

I sold or disposed of my aircraft after January 1st. Why do I have a tax bill?

Please complete and return an Aircraft Affidavit (PDF) to the Placer County Assessor’s Office. Under California Law, the owner of an aircraft at 12:01 a.m, January 1 (lien date) is responsible for taxes and must be assessed at full value. Sale or disposal of property after the lien date does not relieve the Assessee of the obligation to pay taxes.

I sold or disposed of my aircraft before January 1st. Why do I have a tax bill?

Please complete and return a Aircraft Affidavit (PDF) to the Placer County Assessor’s Office. Based upon that affidavit, an informal review of your assessment will be completed.

If I am a resident of Southern California County and am stationed in Northern California, am I eligible for this exemption?

No. As a resident of California, your boat would be subject to taxation in the county the aircraft is located. The exemption would only apply if your residency is in the other 49 States and you are temporarily stationed in California. Should you change your residency to California then the exemption would cease.

If I retire and decide to stay in California temporarily, can I keep this exemption?

No, you must be active duty assigned to California. Once you retire, you are no longer assigned to or required to reside in California.

I own an aircraft with a friend. He has 33.3% ownership and I as an active duty servicemember own 66.6%. Is the aircraft fully exempt?

No, only the servicemember would be qualified for the exemption. 66.6% of the assessed value would be exempt.

Cold War Veterans health issues

If you served during the Cold War era—anytime between 1945 and 1991—you may be at risk of certain health conditions. Learn about these conditions and what to do next to take care of your health.

 What health risks should I know about related to service during the Cold War era?
 

You may be at risk of illnesses or injuries caused by contact with:
Radiation: A type of radiation exposure from atmospheric and underground nuclear weapons tests
Mustard gas: An odorless poisonous gas used in military tests in the 1940s
Herbicides: Agent Orange and other herbicides used in Vietnam and tested or stored in other locations
Occupational (job-related) hazards: Chemicals, paints, radiation, and other hazards you may have come in contact with through your military job
Noise: Harmful sounds from guns, explosives, rockets, heavy weapons, jets and aircraft, and machinery that can cause or contribute to hearing loss and tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
You may also be at risk of illnesses caused by contact with hazards found in certain projects and locations, such as:
Projects 112 or Shipboard Hazard and Defense (SHAD): Military tests of chemical and biological warfare materials that took place in the 1960s to early 1970s
The Atsugi Waste Incinerator: Combustion waste disposal that burned industrial and medical waste
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) | Placer County, CA
Under California Law, the owner of assessable business property at 12:01 a.m, January 1 (lien date) is responsible for taxes and must be assessed at full value. Sale, closure, or disposal of property after the lien date does not relieve the Assessee of the obligation to report and pay taxes.

What should I do if I've closed, sold, or disposed of my business assets before January 1?

Please complete, sign, date, and return a Business Property Affidavit (eFile) to the Placer County Assessor’s Office. Based upon that affidavit, a review of your assessment will be completed. If business property is still located within the county, it may still be assessable. Non-use or storage of a business asset is not the determining factor for its assessability.

How is the assessed value determined?

Depreciation tables are set for different types of equipment and are based on the annual Equipment and Fixtures Index, Percent Good and Valuation Factors approved by the California State Board of Equalization, Assessor’s Handbook 581. Equipment is depreciated based on the equipment’s original cost and type and year of acquisition to arrive at the fair market value. View Equipment Factors and Classifications (PDF).

What if I do not agree with the values? Can my value be reviewed?

You may call, email, or write the Assessor’s Office to discuss the value and make a written request for an informal review. Please note that if the value was the result of an estimated assessment made by the Assessor for failure to file a property statement by May 7, of each year, you will need to complete and return a Business Property Statement (PDF) and attach a Federal Depreciation Schedule with your request for an informal review.

What if I do not agree with the Assessor’s value after an Informal Review?

You can file an Assessment Appeal Application online or by calling 530-889-4020.
Chronic Wasting Disease

(e) finished taxidermy mounts with no meat or tissue attached (antlers in the velvet stage are allowed if no meat, brain or other tissue is attached).
(f) upper canine teeth (buglers, whistlers, ivories).

Basically, “no skull, no backbone” to avoid importing the highest risk tissues for carrying prion.
Best practice and best recommendation is to only bring back packaged meat and/or finished taxidermy mounts.

I harvested an animal out of state but didn’t get it tested, can CDFW test the meat for me?

CDFW cannot test “meat” for CWD. While it is possible to test for and detect CWD prions in meat and other tissues, these tests are currently only available in specialized research labs and not for diagnostic or consumer use. 
There is no “meat safety” test for CWD. For current testing options, results are reported as “Detected” or “Not Detected” for CWD and other prion diseases. That means we can be certain an animal is positive for CWD if the prions are “detected” but we cannot be certain the animal did not have CWD if the results are “not detected.” This is one of the major issues surrounding CWD and other prion diseases and is in large part because of the attributes of the pathogen itself (the prion) and the sensitivities of the currently available tests 
Furthermore, if you brought back only the parts allowed by  CCR Title 14, Section 712 regulations, then the samples needed to perform an official CWD test are not available. These are the retropharyngeal lymph nodes or brainstem.
Best practice is to have your animal tested for CWD in the state you are hunting, especially if that state or region has CWD. As such we recommend doing some research before hunting out-of-state to determine 1) CWD status of the state you are hunting in and 2) how to get an animal tested for CWD in the state it was harvested.
Some labs such as Colorado State University Diagnostic Veterinary Laboratory or the Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory allow hunting public to submit samples themselves for testing for a fee.

Ionizing radiation exposure

If you have a health condition caused by contact with radiation during your service, you may be eligible for VA disability compensation. Compensation provides tax-free monthly payments. Keep reading to find out if you may be eligible.

 New PACT Act-related presumptive-exposure locations
 
We’ve added these 3 new response efforts to the list of presumptive locations:

Cleanup of Enewetak Atoll, from January 1, 1977, through December 31, 1980
Cleanup of the Air Force B-52 bomber carrying nuclear weapons off the coast of Palomares, Spain, from January 17, 1966, through March 31, 1967
Response to the fire onboard an Air Force B-52 bomber carrying nuclear weapons near Thule Air Force Base in Greenland from January 21, 1968, to September 25, 1968

If you took part in any of these efforts, we’ll automatically assume (or “presume”) that you had exposure to radiation.
Learn more about what the PACT Act means for your VA benefits

 Am I eligible for VA disability compensation?
 

You may be eligible for disability compensation if you didn’t receive a dishonorable discharge and you meet these requirements.
Both of these must be true:

There may be grants or low-interest loans available that will help you rebuild at the required elevation. You should check with the community floodplain administrator.

Is it considered “new construction” if I replace my home after a disaster event?

New construction includes anything that is normally thought of as a “new” building, as well as any building that is a replacement for an existing building that is heavily damaged or destroyed, regardless of the cause (“substantially damaged” according to community and National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) regulations). The NFIP defines substantial damage as “damage of any origin sustained by a structure whereby the cost of restoring the structure to its pre-damaged condition would equal or exceed 50 percent of the market value of the structure before the damage occurred.” The requirement that replacements of substantially-damaged buildings must be elevated to or above the BFE is central to the long-term goal of reducing flood damage in a community. Owners can continue to occupy and use non-conforming buildings until such time as those buildings are substantially damaged. After that, any replacement building must conform to the latest flood elevation requirements. 

45.
Can I build on my property in the floodplain?

Development may take place within the SFHA if it complies with local floodplain ordinances, which must meet Federal requirements. Communities participating in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) must at least require that new construction or substantial improvements of residential structures in the SFHA be elevated so that the lowest floor (including the basement) is at or above the Base (1-%-annual-chance) Flood Elevation. A community in the NFIP must also require permits for all new development in the SFHA and ensure that the construction materials and methods will minimize future flood damage. Permit files must document how buildings were actually constructed.The floodplain management requirements for the SFHA are designed to prevent new development from increasing the flood threat and to protect new and existing buildings from anticipated flood events. FEMA works closely with states and local communities to identify flood hazard areas and risks. When a community joins the NFIP, it agrees to adopt the required floodplain management regulations and to ensure that its enforcement procedures meet NFIP requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Qualify for Assistance?

First and foremost, to qualify for assistance, your losses must have occurred in an area covered by a disaster declaration.

Check if your county is covered by a disaster declaration.

Secondly, if you have insurance, you must file a claim with your insurance company.

Is disaster assistance still available if I have insurance?

Two types of disaster assistance, "Housing Needs" and "Other than Housing Needs", are available to individuals, families and businesses in an area whose property has been damaged or destroyed and whose losses are not covered by insurance.

Do I qualify for "Housing Needs" assistance?
Do I qualify for "Other than Housing Needs" assistance?
