Bill	Farmworker housing: income taxes: insurance tax: credits: low-income housing: migrant farm labor centers.	(1) Existing law establishes a low-income housing tax credit program pursuant to which the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee provides procedures and requirements for the allocation of state insurance, personal income, and corporation tax credit amounts among qualified low-income housing projects in modified conformity to federal law that have been allocated, or qualify for, a federal low-income housing tax credit, and for farmworker housing. Existing law limits the total annual amount of the state low-income housing credit for which a federal low-income housing credit is required to the sum of $70,000,000, as increased by any percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index for the preceding calendar year, any unused credit for the preceding calendar years, and the amount of housing credit ceiling returned in the calendar year. Existing law additionally allows a state credit, which is not dependent on receiving a federal low-income housing credit, of $500,000 per calendar year for projects to provide farmworker housing. Existing law defines "farmworker housing" to mean housing for agricultural workers that is available to, and occupied by, only farmworkers and their households.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20172018	AB 571	California AB 571 (20172018)	bill	Farmworker housing: income taxes: insurance tax: credits: low-income housing: migrant farm labor centers.	enacted	Eduardo Garcia	7	29	11	2017-02-14	2017-09-29	openstates	ocd-bill/0b6438f2-fd47-48a1-b9d9-a7fc84305193	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB571	2ab7f7a61e6596bac6a0194c6d0478603a325730c836727b6a55353d8e67eaa9	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
