Summary
The California Constitution prohibits the Legislature from imposing taxes for local purposes, but allows the Legislature to authorize local governments to impose them. This bill would authorize the governing board of any county or city and county, any school district, any community college district, and any county office of education subject to specified constitutional and voter approval requirements, to levy, increase, or extend a local personal income tax, transactions and use tax, vehicle license fee, and excise tax, including, but not limited to, an alcoholic beverages tax, a cigarette and tobacco products tax, a sweetened beverage tax, and an oil severance tax, as provided. This bill would require the State Board of Equalization, the Franchise Tax Board, or the Department of Motor Vehicles to perform various functions incident to the administration and operation of a local tax if the county or city and county, the school district, the community college district, or the county office of education contracts with the state agency to perform those functions. This bill would, for each fiscal year, also require a county or city and county, a school district, a community college district, and a county office of education to reimburse the state for any losses incurred by the state General Fund due to any deductions allowed under the Personal Income Tax Law and the Corporation Tax Law for any local taxes levied, increased, or extended pursuant to this authorization by that county or city and county, school district, community college district, or county office of education, as specified. This bill would, for each fiscal year, require the Franchise Tax Board, with the assistance of the State Board of Equalization, to estimate the losses incurred by the state General Fund attributable to each county or city and county, a school district, a community college district, or a county office of education due to any local taxes levied, increased, or extended by that county or city and county, school district, community college district, or county office of education.
