April 8 set for first hearing. Failed passage in committee. (Ayes 1. Noes 4. Page 3795.) Reconsideration granted.
Summary
The bill adds a new credit to the personal income tax that refunds eligible California residents a modest amount based on income, filing status and dependents. The credit is refundable, meaning any excess after offsetting tax liability is paid from the Tax Relief and Refund Account. It aims to ease the state's high cost‑of‑living pressures for low‑ and middle‑income households.
