Murray, 2/24/00
Sponsor: Author
This bill would authorize a credit against those taxes (Personal and 
Corporate) for each taxable and income year beginning on or after January 1, 
2000, and before January 1, 2006, in an amount equal to an unspecified amount 
for any taxpayer who provides an Internet connection and an Internet access 
device without charge to a low-income household.
Specifically  "For each income year beginning on or after January 1, 2000, 
and before January 1, 2006, there shall be allowed as a credit against the 
&tax,8 as defined in Section 23036, an amount equal to ____ ($____) to any 
taxpayer who provides an Internet connection and an Internet access device 
without charge to a low-income household."

Position:
Yet an other Low Income/universal access bill to reduce the "digital divide". 
However this time the person or corporation will get a tax credit for 
providing free Internet access to  low-income. What is our position? Should 
we Watch the bill?
