Repeal of increased support from adult children in welfare reform
California lawmakers repeal part of last year’s Welfare Reform Act reducing required contributions from about 281,000 adult children to pre 1971 rates. Sen. Tate called the measure an obscenity and a discriminatory tax on the poor. The Senate sent the bill to the Assembly 27 to 10 with cross party backing, while Reagan administration opposed. The reform aimed to overturn the state Supreme Court’s death penalty ruling, amid broader political fights reflected in ongoing primary campaigns.
