(a) A person who redeems California savings bonds and who has owned the bonds for at least five years, or a person designated by the owner, may exclude the amount redeemed to a maximum of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000), per year per student, adjusted for inflation after January 1, 1993, according to the California Consumer Price Index, from any required calculations of income and net worth for the purpose of making state financial aid determinations for any public or private postsecondary educational institution in this state. This exclusion shall only be available for bonds redeemed or to be redeemed in the 12-month period preceding the date of award for financial aid. Notwithstanding Section 69506 of the Education Code, the modification made by this section to the methodology set forth in federal law or regulation for determining the expected family contribution of students seeking any state-funded financial assistance is determined by the Legislature to be in the best interest of the state.
(b) This chapter does not apply to college savings bonds issued by the Treasurer prior to January 1, 1993, except that a person who redeems college savings bonds issued prior to January 1, 1993, and who has owned the bonds for at least five years, or a person designated by the owner, may exclude the amount redeemed to a maximum of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000), per year per student, adjusted for inflation after January 1, 1993, according to the California Consumer Price Index, from any required calculations of income and net worth for the purpose of making state financial aid determinations for any public or private postsecondary educational institution in this state. This exclusion shall only be available for bonds redeemed or to be redeemed in the 12-month period preceding the date of award for financial aid.
