The change

California SB 122 (Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review), signed on 29 June 2026, amends the Revenue and Taxation Code to bring "digital products" into the sales and use tax base, defining the term to include prewritten computer software transferred on tangible storage media, transferred electronically, or accessed remotely, and adding a new section 6016.2 defining "accessed remotely" as access by digital code, password or other means to prewritten software residing on the seller's system. The amendments become operative on 1 January 2027.
