LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 220, as amended, Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review.
Budget Act of 2023. Personal Income Tax Law: exclusion: student loan debt.
The Personal Income Tax Law, in modified conformity with federal income tax law, generally defines “gross income” as income from whatever source derived, except as specifically excluded, including an exclusion for the amount of student loan indebtedness repaid or canceled pursuant to a specified federal law.
This bill would exclude from an individual’s gross income, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2021, and before January 1, 2026, the amount of certain student loans discharged, in whole or in part, after December 31, 2020, and before January 1, 2026, in conformity with federal law.
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 would state the intent of the Legislature to comply with those provisions.
This bill would make findings and declarations related to a gift of public funds.
This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to enact statutory changes relating to the Budget Act of 2023.
