Newsom said he would direct the Department of Tax and Fee Administration to make automatic a three-month sales tax extension that he first unveiled in April for businesses with less than $1 million in sales on their tax returns and to expand interest-free payment options for larger businesses suffering from public health restrictions. This is a sprint, he said. If we dont act now, our hospital system will be overwhelmed, Newsom said. A record 9,702 people are currently hospitalized, including 2,147 in the intensive care unit, leaving the state with fewer than 1,800 available ICU beds. The governor also announced a $500 million COVID Relief Grant run by the California Office of the Small Business Advocate at GO-Biz, which he said will distribute grants of up to $25,000 to small businesses and nonprofit organizations by early next year.
