                <ns0:Title>An act to add and repeal Chapter 16 (commencing with Section 25000) of Part 11 of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, relating to taxation, to take effect immediately, tax levy.</ns0:Title>
                <ns0:RelatingClause>taxation, to take effect immediately, tax levy</ns0:RelatingClause>

                        <ns0:Subject>Corporation Tax Law: tax expenditures: No Tax Breaks for ICE Contractors Act of 2026.</ns0:Subject>
                </ns0:GeneralSubject>
                <ns0:DigestText>
                        <html:p>Existing law, the Corporation Tax Law, imposes taxes based upon gross income, and defines “gross income” as all income from whatever source derived, unless specifically excluded. Existing law allows various credits against the taxes imposed by that law. The Corporation Tax Law conforms to federal law in its treatment of certain
                         exclusions and credits. Existing law provides for certain programs for free legal services for indigent persons.</html:p>
                        <html:p>This bill would, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2027, and before January 1, 2032, enact the No Tax Breaks for ICE Contractors Act of 2026, which would deny all tax expenditures, as defined, otherwise available under the Corporation Tax Law to any taxpayer that contracts with United States Department of Homeland Security, as provided. The bill would establish the California Immigrant Resilience Fund in the State Treasury. The bill would require the Franchise Tax Board, in consultation with the Department of Finance, to estimate the amount of additional revenue resulting from the provisions of the bill, notify the Controller of that amount, and require the Controller to transfer that amount to the fund. The bill would make moneys in the fund available
                         to provide immigration-related services, including removal defense, as provided, upon appropriation by the Legislature.</html:p>
                        <html:p>
                                This bill would include a change in state statute that would result in a taxpayer paying a higher tax within the meaning of Section 3 of Article XIII
                                <html:span class="ThinSpace"/>
                                A of the California Constitution, and thus would require for passage the approval of

                                 of the membership of each house of the Legislature.
                        </html:p>
                        <html:p>This bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy.</html:p>
