Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
6 provisions identified: 5 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
CalABLE accounts for people with disabilities
The law creates the California ABLE Program Trust and puts the board in charge. Eligible people with disabilities, or their families, can open and keep ABLE accounts under the trust. The board runs and maintains these accounts. This law does not set contribution or tax rules here.
More funding and outreach for CalABLE
The board can accept grants, gifts, state appropriations, and other money into CalABLE funds. It can use these funds for public awareness and to help eligible people open or grow ABLE accounts, including focused outreach to certain groups. The board may partner with public, private, or nonprofit groups to do this work.
Planning help for disability expenses
The board can study current and future disability expenses and share projections. This helps you plan how much to save in a CalABLE account. The advice does not set required dollar amounts.
Direct your state refund to CalABLE
California tax forms now show that you can send part of your refund straight to ScholarShare or a CalABLE account. The Franchise Tax Board must add this in the most cost‑effective way. The ScholarShare and CalABLE boards must give the tax agency short, five‑line descriptions for the form instructions.
Stronger CalABLE contracting and staffing
The ABLE board can hire staff and contractors needed to run the program. A specific state contracting rule does not apply to a program consultant, but the board must publicly disclose any contract that rule would have barred before signing. The Treasurer appoints an executive director, who can be authorized to handle contracts and daily business. The board can buy insurance for the trust and protect board members from personal liability.
Fees and limits on CalABLE accounts
The board may charge administrative fees and service charges on ABLE accounts, including penalties for cancellations. It can also set minimum and maximum investment levels for accounts. If you have a CalABLE account, these fees and limits can apply. The law does not list exact amounts.
