What AB 2205 does, verified June 8, 2026

The bill extends the tax credits for hiring qualified full-time employees in designated census tracts or economic development areas. These credits allow businesses to claim a credit of up to 35% of qualified wages paid to those employees. The credits are currently set to expire on December 1, 2029, but the bill would extend this date to December 1, 2034. The bill also requires additional information for any new tax expenditure, including specific goals and performance indicators. The tax credits and changes would take effect immediately as a tax levy.
