Maintaining Voter Approved Solar Tax Exclusion

Author:

Senator Holly Mitchell

Was passed into law in order to ensure that the existing tax treatment for larger solar projects remained intact in order to help the state meet its clean energy targets in the event that Proposition 15, the Schools and Communities First Initiative, passed in the November 2020 General Election. Due to Proposition 15 failing, this bill will not go into effect.

About California Environmental Voters

California Environmental Voters (formerly the California League of Conservation Voters) believes the climate crisis is here and this moment requires transformative change. California has the policy solutions to stop climate change but lacks the political will to do it at the rate and scale that’s necessary. EnviroVoters exists to build the political power to solve the climate crisis, advance justice, and create a roadmap for global action. We organize voters, elect and train candidates, and hold lawmakers accountable for bold policy change. We won’t stop until we have resilient, healthy, thriving communities, and a democracy and economy that is just and sustainable for all.
