Yubanet linkA bill providing relief to domestic partners who paid unfair property taxes prior to 2006 passed the Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee on Wednesday. SB 559, authored by Sen. Christine Kehoe, D-San Diego, ensures that all same-sex couples registered with the state benefit from a 2006 law that exempts domestic partners from property reassessments upon the death of a partner or dissolution of the partnership. Senators passed the bill with a 5-3 vote.
