A special legislative committee in Sacramento approved a $34.18 billion tax relief plan promising annual rebate checks for 6.8 million Californians. The bill, smaller than the Senate rejected proposal, would provide rebates of 225 to 260 for 4.2 million homeowners and 118 for 2.6 million renters, while eliminating the business inventory tax. Changes favor homeowner relief and raise the bank tax to 6 percent, with the plan needing two thirds in both houses for passage on the session’s final day.
