Important State gas price and other relief proposals: FTB is aware of multiple proposals from the Governor and Legislature to help Californians cope with rising prices of gas and other goods. While you may be seeing discussion in the media/social media on proposals related to gas prices and taxes, we have no information to offer at this time because the ideas are only proposals and no law has been enacted yet. We are monitoring the relief discussions and will update our website when more information is available.
