	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 509, as introduced, Skinner. Personal income taxes: earned
income tax credit: notification.
   The Personal Income Tax Law authorizes various credits against the
taxes imposed by that law. The federal income tax laws authorize a
refundable earned income tax credit for certain low-income
individuals who have earned income and who meet certain other
requirements.

   This bill would declare the Legislature's intent to enact
legislation that would create a pilot project requiring local
community-based coalitions, utilities, and schools to provide the
public with eligibility information regarding the earned income tax
credit.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.   The Legislature hereby declares its intent to enact
legislation that would create a pilot project requiring local

public with eligibility information regarding the earned income tax
credit.
