As we discuss in our report on options for a state earned income tax credit (EITC), the California Legislature previously has considered several EITC proposals, none of which have been enacted into law. Below, we provide links to information on these prior proposals, which includes the text of the measures, plus bill analyses (often multiple versions related to the various versions of the bill that year):
- AB 1854 (Cedillo, 1999-00 legislative session). (See also the Franchise Tax Board [FTB] analysis of the 3/30/2000 version of the bill.)
