Health Care Costs
Assembly member George Plescia (R-San Diego) introduced legislation (AB 142) that beginning in 2008 would exempt from state income tax contributions to health savings accounts. Contributions to HSAs are exempt from federal income taxes (Bill Text, 1/17).
Sen. Abel Maldonado (R-San Luis Obispo) has introduced a similar bill (SB 25) in the Senate (Bill text, 12/4).
