California - Session 2025-2026
Title: Personal income tax: credit: home security surveillance.
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, not to exceed $250, during the taxable year for the purchase and installation of a security surveillance system at the taxpayer’s principal dwelling or housing unit located in the state. Existing law requires any bill authorizing a new tax expenditure, as defined, to include tax credits, to contain, among other things, specific goals, purposes, and objectives that the tax credit will achieve, detailed performance indicators, and data collection requirements. This bill would include findings and reporting requirements in compliance with this requirement. This bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy.
