California legislator seeks to exempt reparations from taxes

California Assemblymember Tina McKinnor has proposed a bill to prevent reparations payments to Black residents from being taxed under state income laws. The measure would exempt reparations benefits received between 2027 and 2031 from taxation, ensuring recipients retain the full value of any monetary payments or financial compensations related to reparations efforts. The bill has been sent to the California Senate for review and is part of broader state and national discussions on compensating descendants of enslaved people.
