Summary
Official abstract published by the California legislature· summary
The Personal Income Tax Law, in modified conformity with federal income tax laws, defines "gross income" as income from whatever source derived, except as specifically excluded, and provides various exclusions from gross income.
This bill, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2028, and before January 1, 2033, would exclude from gross income any reparations benefit or payment, as defined, received by a taxpayer during the taxable year.
Existing law requires any bill authorizing a new tax expenditure to contain, among other things, specific goals, purposes, and objectives that the tax expenditure will achieve, detailed performance indicators, and data collection requirements.
This bill also would include additional information required for any bill authorizing a new tax expenditure.
This bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy.
