A 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.
