SB 180 California Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Taxation trailer bill.

SB 180 is a procedural bill that expresses the California Legislature's intent to later enact legal changes related to the Budget Act of 2025. It does not make immediate budget changes or affect specific programs or individuals - it only declares future legislative action. The bill passed the Senate unanimously (28-10) and is now pending in the Assembly for further review. This bill serves as a formal step to initiate future budget-related legislative work, not as a substantive budget measure itself.

MODERATE
This diff reflects the transition of SB 180 from its Amended Assembly version to the final Enrolled version after passage by both chambers on June 29, 2026. The substantive policy content is unchanged; the differences are primarily procedural (header updates reflecting passage dates and clerk signatures) and textual cleanup that incorporates previously marked-up amendments into clean statutory language. No new policy provisions were added or removed between these two versions.
TECHNICAL

Header changed from 'Amended in Assembly June 26, 2026' to enrolled bill format with 'Passed the Senate June 29, 2026' and 'Passed the Assembly June 29, 2026,' along with signature blocks for the Secretary of the Senate, Chief Clerk of the Assembly, and Private Secretary of the Governor.

The legislative counsel's digest was reformatted from the amended assembly layout to the enrolled bill layout, removing 'as amended' from the bill title reference and reorganizing page numbering.

All amendment markup (line numbers, bracketed insertions and deletions) was removed and replaced with clean statutory text. For example, the CalCompetes credit extension date now reads simply 'before January 1, 2035' rather than showing the old '2030' struck through with '2035' inserted.

The fiscal year allocation period for the CalCompetes credit is now cleanly stated as 'through and including the 2032-33 fiscal year' (previously shown as an amendment from 2027-28), and the Department of Finance estimate period is now '2034-35' (previously shown as an amendment from 2029-30).
