Senators Steve Glazer, D-Contra Costa, Maria Elena Durazo, D-Los Angeles and Sidney Kamlager, D-Los Angeles have been joined by a growing legislative coalition for a bill to increase and reform the California Renters Tax Credit.
The bill, SB 843, would offer support to the poorest renters and single parents at a time when California renters have been drowning in unaffordable housing costs and struggling to pay rent. SB 843 would make the tax credit fully refundable so that renters who have no tax obligation could receive the maximum refund. Approximately 2.4 million Californians would be eligible for this tax relief.
Senators Durazo and Kamlager are joint authors of SB 843, joining principal co-authors Assembly member Isaac Bryan (D-Los Angeles), Steven Choi (R-Irvine) and 41 other co-authors from both legislative chambers.
Joint Authors: Senators Sidney Kamlager, D-Los Angeles and Maria Elena Durazo, D-Los Angeles.
Principal coauthors: Assembly Members Isaac Bryan, D-Los Angeles, Steven Choi, R-Irvine, and Mike Gipson, D-Carson.
