Summary

The bill lets California taxpayers deduct up to $10,000 (or $5,000 for most filers) of cash contributions they make to a Scholarshare 529 college‑savings account. It also changes state law so that certain qualified tuition program distributions that are rolled over to a Roth IRA are treated the same way as under federal law. The changes apply to tax years beginning in 2026 and run through 2031‑32, and the bill is currently held in committee.
