Personal Income Tax Law: young child tax credit.

Summary

The bill would increase the age of children eligible for the state’s young child tax credit from under 6 to up to 16 over a four‑year phase‑in, keep the credit at $1,176 (adjusted annually) multiplied by the earned‑income‑tax‑credit factor, and phase out the credit for incomes above $25,000. It also directs the Franchise Tax Board to issue rules, report on the credit’s use, and treat refunds like federal earned‑income refunds for welfare eligibility. The measure failed to pass.
