Summary

The bill directs the Department of Social Services to keep the California Guaranteed Income Pilot Program running and to give funding priority to parents of children ages 0‑5 and survivors of domestic violence, alongside foster‑care youth aging out and pregnant people. It also revises grant distribution, favoring entities in counties that have not yet received funds and dropping the rule that awards be proportional to the number of people each entity expects to serve. Additional safeguards ensure that guaranteed‑income payments do not count as income for state, local, or most federal benefit programs, including a 12‑month Medi‑Cal exemption.
