In the new stimulus plan, termed 'Golden State Stimulus II', individuals whose annual income is between $30,000 and $75,000 and who have filed an income tax return for 2020 are eligible to receive the check.
However, if you have already received the previous stimulus check from the state, you will no longer receive money under the GSS II plan.
Under 'Golden State Stimulus II', eligible individuals will receive a one-time stimulus check of $600.
For eligible families who have kids, the stimulus amount will include an additional amount of $500 over and above the $600 for the qualifying individuals.

How to get the stimulus check
For most Californians who qualify, you do not need to do anything to receive the stimulus payment other than file your 2020 tax return. - ftb.ca.gov
According to the report, the amount will be directly credited to the beneficiary's account. Hence, most qualifying people in California do not have to take any step from their side to receive the money.
