That law requires a claim for assistance under these provisions, and a specified additional declaration applicable in the case of assistance used to pay delinquent property taxes, to be under penalty of perjury.This bill bill, until December 1, 2025, would recast these provisions as the Gonsalves-Deukmejian-Petris Property Tax Assistance Law and authorize any individual, without regard to age, blindness, or disability, who otherwise meets the above-described criteria to file a claim for assistance.

In this regard, the bill would require the Legislative Analyst to review the effectiveness of this property tax assistance and authorize the Legislative Analyst to collect specified data from the Franchise Tax Board and specified other state governmental entities.By expanding eligibility for property tax assistance under these provisions, thereby expanding the scope of the crime of perjury, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
