   AB 876, as amended, Harkey. Income and corporation taxes: capital

1, 2009, provide that gross income does not include any gain from the
sale or exchange of a capital asset, as defined, that is purchased
during the 2009  or 2010  calendar year, and is held for
more than one year.  Net capital losses would not be allowed for
any capital asset purchased during the 2009 or 2010 calendar year.

   This bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy.
