Senate Bill 668 by state Sen. Patricia Bates, R-Laguna Niguel, would open a two-year window for intergenerational property transfers without reassessment.

Senate Bill 668, authored by Sen. Patricia Bates, R-Laguna Niguel in partnership with the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, would delay implementation of the property inheritance provision until Feb. 16, 2023.

Two California senators and the state’s 58 county assessors are seeking clarification on the implementation of a new property tax measure, and they’re hoping to delay a provision that makes it more costly for children to inherit some homes from their parents.

“As the Vice Chair of the Senate Environmental Quality Committee, I want to support innovative efforts that will help Californians live a more sustainable lifestyle,” Bates said. “Encouraging the use of NEVs in a community such as Rancho Mission Viejo would help achieve that objective.”

State Sen. Patricia Bates, top Republican on the Senate’s Special Committee on Pandemic Emergency Response led by Democrats, called the findings “the first step towards addressing the disturbing allegations made by whistleblowers.”
