A major property tax relief bill moved to the Assembly floor after amendments. AB999 would provide 712 million dollars in immediate relief for property taxpayers and renters, funded by 285 million in higher taxes on the wealthy. An indexing provision was removed to prevent rapid bracket creep, saving 195 million.
