(County Supervisors support SB 420)....The Bill is authored by Senator Steve Padilla.

SB 420 is a sweeping state bill aimed at closing a property tax loophole utilized by nonprofit organizations tied to private immigration detention centers. The bill is designed to strip charitable property owner to access the loophole. The bill follows a high profile investigation by KPBS, which revealed that the Brawley Community Foundation, a local nonprofit organization, successfully avoided paying at least $6 million in local property tax through California's Welfare Exemption program. The County Supervisors agreed to end a letter supporting Padilla's legislation.
