  • Session Year: 2025-2026
  • House: Senate

Current Status:

In Progress

(2025-02-14: Referred to Com. on REV. & TAX.)

Version:

The Personal Income Tax Law allows various credits against the taxes imposed by that law.

This bill would allow a credit against those taxes for each taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2026, and before January 1, 2031, in an amount equal to the amount paid or incurred by a qualified teacher during the taxable year for instructional materials and classroom supplies, as defined, not to exceed $250. The bill would define qualified teacher as a teacher in a public, charter, or private school offering instruction in kindergarten or any of grades 1 to 12, inclusive, who is within the first 3 years of employment as a teacher.

Existing law requires any bill authorizing a new tax expenditure to contain, among other things, specific goals 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.
