An Enrolled Bill Report by the Employment Development Department described this bill as follows:
AB 399 would revise various provisions of the Revenue and Taxation Code and the Unemployment Insurance (UI) Code to conform to certain federal income tax changes in the federal Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (TEFRA). This bill includes a state-local mandate disclaimer and the bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy.
