What is CA AB 2585 about?

Existing law requires the State Department of Social Services, subject to an appropriation, to administer the California Guaranteed Income Pilot Program, until January 1, 2028, to provide grants to eligible entities for the purpose of administering pilot programs and projects that provide a guaranteed income to participants. Existing law requires the department to prioritize funding for pilot programs and projects California residents who age out of the extended foster care program at or after 21 years of age or who are pregnant individuals. Existing law requires the department, in determining the methodology and manner of distributing grants, to ensure that grant funds are awarded in an equitable manner to eligible entities in both rural and urban counties and in proportion to the number of individuals anticipated to be served by an eligible entity's pilot program or project. This bill would require the department to also prioritize pilot programs and projects that serve California residents who are parents of children between zero to 5 years of age, inclusive, or who are victims of domestic violence. The bill would remove the requirement that grant funds are awarded in proportion to the number of individuals anticipated to be served by an eligible entity's pilot program or project, and would require preference to be provided for eligible entities in regions where eligible entities have not yet been awarded grant funds pursuant to this program.
