Summary

The bill would temporarily increase the state renter’s credit from $120/$60 to $2,000/$1,000 and raise the income thresholds to $150,000/$75,000 for qualifying renters. The larger credit would be refundable if it exceeds the taxpayer’s liability, and the amounts would be adjusted for inflation each year. It also requires the Franchise Tax Board to report usage and impact to several budget committees.
