Position Staff Reco Assigned District Type Subject Area Working Group No position OPPOSE 3 CLokke General Revenue Budget Memo CSDA Summary: AB 2668 would allow seniors and disabled persons to transfer their home's base year assessed value to a replacement home of greater value. Currently, this is only permitted for replacement homes of equal or lesser value. SCA 9 (Beall) is a related bill that would make the necessary constitutional changes. The voters must approve SCA 9 in order for AB 2668 to take effect. AB 2668 is similar to SB 378 (Beall), a two-year bill from this year that was the companion to SCA 9. SB 378 failed to move off the Senate Appropriations Suspense File. Based on BOE estimates, the proposal could result in a $7 million statewide loss to cities, counties, and special districts, combined.
