Personal income tax: Earned Income Tax Credit.

Summary

The bill changes the state earned‑income tax credit so that anyone who qualifies receives at least $355, even if the standard calculation would produce a smaller amount. It sets new credit rates and income thresholds based on the number of qualifying children and directs the Franchise Tax Board to fund and report on the credit. The measure aims to prevent low‑income workers from losing the credit as their earnings rise and to track its impact on poverty.
