A measure to give Station fire victims tax breaks passed both houses of the state Legislature and is headed to the desk of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The measure, by Assemblyman Anthony Portantino’s (D-La Cañada Flintridge), would extend income tax exemptions to homeowners and businesses victimized by fires and natural disasters in 11 California counties.
The Station fire wiped out 209 structures, including 89 homes, according to Portantino.
“As we head into another fire season, I am hopeful that Gov. Schwarzenegger will sign this bill and provide tax relief for these homeowners,” Portantino said in a statement. “Because it is an urgency measure, it would go into effect immediately once it is signed into law. For those who lost homes and property because of fires, mudslides and other natural disasters, this tax relief cannot come soon enough.”
The measure, AB 1662, was co-authored by Assemblyman Kevin Jeffries (R- Lake Elsinore) and offers assistance to disaster victims in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Francisco, Calaveras, Monterey, Siskiyou, Imperial, Kern and Placer counties.
