Disclose with Confidence

Keep an eye out!

RED ALERT: AB 736, a transfer tax bill currently moving through the California Legislature, could significantly increase the taxes homeowners pay when they sell their homes. This issue matters to every homeowner in California. Please urge your legislators today to vote NO on AB 736.

AB 736 would allow local governments to increase transfer taxes on home sales far beyond what most Californians pay today. For example, for a home that sold for $900,000, the tax could increase from roughly $1,000 today to as much as $13,500 or even $27,000 in some cases.

For many homeowners, that money would come directly out of the equity they have worked for years to build. Whether you're planning to buy, sell, or remain in your home for years to come, policies like AB 736 that increase housing costs will affect all Californians.

Senate Passes Landmark Housing Bill: What It Means for Veterans, Homeowners
PUBLISHED

UPDATED
JUN 23, 2026 AT 05:30 AM EDT

What the Senate Just Approved
The package represents a rare bipartisan breakthrough, bringing together lawmakers as ideologically different as Senator Tim Scott, a South Carolina Republican, and Senator Elizabeth Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, around a shared concern: housing affordability.

Among its major provisions, the bill would:
* Limit large institutional investors that own at least 350 homes from buying more single-family properties.
* Expand housing supply through incentives, grants, and streamlined building rules.
* Introduce targeted reforms for veterans, including improved VA loan visibility and changes to homelessness eligibility rules.
* Create new federal support for home repairs through grants and forgivable loans.

Psychology says fathers who fix broken things instead of replacing them are not being cheap: Why repairing objects becomes their way of protecting memories, purpose and family

Almost every family knows this father. The chair is wobbling. The remote control no longer works properly. The fan makes strange noises. Instead of buying a new one, he reaches for a screwdriver. He studies the problem, opens the object, and spends the next hour trying to repair it. Sometimes he succeeds. Sometimes he doesn't. But he almost always tries. To younger generations, this habit can seem confusing. Why spend an hour fixing something that could be replaced in minutes? Psychology suggests this behavior is rarely just about money. For many fathers, repairing things becomes a deeply ingrained way of expressing responsibility, identity, and care. In many ways, fixing objects becomes a language of love.

"Summer brings more people onto California’s roadways, increasing the risks of impaired driving. Impaired driving continues to claim hundreds of lives in California each year and forever changes countless others," stated CHP Commissioner Sean Duryee. "These tragedies are entirely preventable. Plan ahead, never drive impaired, and help us keep California’s roads safe. CHP officers will be out in force, removing impaired drivers from our roads and helping ensure everyone reaches their destination safely.”
