Senate Bill
No. 221


Introduced by Senator Seyarto

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 221, as introduced, Seyarto. Personal Income Tax Law: Corporation Tax Law: credits: domestic violence survivor housing.
The Personal Income Tax Law and the Corporation Tax Law allow various credits against the taxes imposed by those laws. Existing law requires a bill authorizing a new tax expenditure to contain, among other things, specific goals, purposes, and objectives the tax expenditure will achieve, detailed performance indicators, and data collection requirements.
This bill would, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2023, and before January 1, 2028, allow a credit against the taxes imposed by those laws in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market rental value and the amount realized in rents and other revenues from leasing qualified rental property, as defined, to qualified nonprofits, as defined, for the purpose of providing housing to survivors of domestic violence below market rates. The bill would state it is the intent of the Legislature to comply with the additional information requirements of a bill authorizing a new tax expenditure.
This bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: YES   Local Program: NO
