Personal Income Tax Law: credits: medical expenses.
Summary
The Personal Income Tax Law in modified conformity with federal income tax laws, generally allows various deductions in computing the income that is subject to tax imposed under that law. This bill would, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2025, and before January 1, 2030, allow a deduction in computing income for out-of-pocket medical costs, as defined. The bill would limit the deduction to $5,000 per taxable year. Existing law requires any bill authorizing a new tax expenditure to contain, among other things, specific goals, purposes, and objectives that the tax expenditure will achieve, detailed performance indicators, and data collection requirements. This bill would include additional information required for any bill authorizing a new tax expenditure. This bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy.

MINOR
No substantive policy changes occurred between these two versions of AB 1282. The differences are entirely in document formatting and presentation: the first version uses a traditional printed legislative layout with line numbers, while the second version is from a web-based bill tracking system that includes navigation menus, search tools, and links. The actual bill text - including the $5,000 out-of-pocket medical cost deduction, its definition, sunset date, and reporting requirements - is identical in both versions.
TECHNICAL
The document was reformatted from a traditional printed legislative layout (with line numbers and page headers) to a web-based bill tracking system format that includes site navigation elements, search functionality, and metadata such as publication date and version labels. No policy language was changed.
