Summary

The Personal Income Tax Law and the Corporation Tax Law allow various deductions in computing the income that is subject to the taxes imposed by those laws. Those laws, in modified conformity to federal income tax laws, disallow any deduction from gross income if that income is directly derived from, or directly tends to promote or further, illegal activities relating to lotteries, gaming, or horse racing, and other specified illegal activities. This bill would instead disallow a deduction for expenses attributable to income derived by a taxpayer from any criminal activity punishable under the Penal Code, specified illegal activities relating to drug trafficking, and insurance fraud, as provided. This bill would result in a change in state taxes for the purpose of increasing state revenues within the meaning of Section 3 of Article XIIIA of the California Constitution, and thus would require for passage the approval of 23 of the membership of each house of the Legislature. The California Constitution authorizes the Governor to declare a fiscal emergency and to call the Legislature into special session for that purpose. The Governor issued a proclamation declaring a fiscal emergency, and calling a special session for this purpose, on December 19, 2008. This bill would state that it addresses the fiscal emergency declared by the Governor by proclamation issued on December 19, 2008, pursuant to the California Constitution. This bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy.
