California bill that would have reduced taxes on tips dies in committee
( — A bill in the California legislature that would have exempted some tipped income from taxes has stalled in committee before ever making it to a floor vote, the bill's author said. Senator Rosilicie Ochoa Bogh (R-Yucaipa) said Senate Bill 17 was held by the Senate Appropritions Committee. 'I am incredibly disappointed that the committee has failed to recognize the importance of providing tax relief to hardworking service industry employees,' said Senator Ochoa Bogh. 'Tips are not guaranteed income, they fluctuate and are dependent on the generosity of customers. This is not the end of the fight. I will continue advocating for the service industry workers who depend on tips to afford California's high cost of living.' The Senate Appropriations Committee did not provide a reason for holding the bill, but a spokesperson for Bogh's office noted that the committee's analysis showed the bill would have reduced the state's tax revenue by $180 million in its first full year in effect. The bill would have exempted up to $20,000 in tips for taxpayers who met three conditions: Work a job where they regularly receive more $20 per month in tips Do not currently hold a professional license issued by the Department of Consumer Affairs (with an exception for people licensed by the State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology) Have an adjusted gross income of less than: $250,000 if they file taxes as a head of household, a surviving spouse, or jointly with their spouse Or less than $125,000 as any other type of filer Bogh's office said the restriction on state-licensed professionals was added after the Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee pointed out that professional service providers such as tax preparers could charge minimally for their services while taking an outsized tip to benefit from the bill. That committee unanimously passed the bill after it was amended. On June 6, the California Legislature passed its annual 'House of Origin' deadline, after which, bills that have not been passed out of the chamber they originated in can not move forward.

IKEA expands to Manteca with new Plan & Order point in 2025
( — The IKEA family is welcoming its fourth Northern California store in Manteca, which is set to open in 2025. On Thursday, IKEA officials announced plans for a new Plan and Order point with pickup expected in 2025. Officials stated that this new customer meeting point will be located in the Promenade shops at Orchard Valley, promising to bring a fresh experience to the metro area. 'We are thrilled to offer residents of the Greater Sacramento Area more ways to shop and experience IKEA!' said Javier Quiñones, CEO & Chief Sustainability Officer of IKEA U.S. 'This new location highlights our commitment to making IKEA more accessible and affordable, bringing our home furnishing products and solutions closer to the community.' Charges filed against former Cal Fire employee in child pornography case The Plan and Order is a new store format that is part of IKEA's growing strategy to increase accessibility for the brand and ensure there are more ways to meet customers where they are and how they like to shop, according to IKEA officials. They explained that this differs from their traditional IKEA format, like the one located in West Sacramento. This version of the store allows customers a chance to meet with team members to plan and order home furnishing solutions that require a bit more assistance, such as kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms. The new location will be situated at 1422 Grove Avenue in the Promenade Shops at Orchard Valley, an outdoor lifestyle retail center encompassing 2600 square feet of leased retail space, officials said. If customers in the Stockton – Lodi – Tracy metropolitan area want to enjoy the famous IKEA meatballs, they must make a trip to the West Sacramento location, as this new spot focuses on providing the community with access to affordability and convenience, according to officials. IKEA currently has three locations in Northern California: West Sacramento, San Francisco, and Palo Alto. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
