	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1765, Irwin. CaliforniaVolunteers: nonprofit public benefit
corporation.
   Under existing law, by executive order, CaliforniaVolunteers is
established in the office of the Governor and is charged with
overseeing programs and initiatives for service and volunteerism.
   This bill would authorize CaliforniaVolunteers, for so long as it
is authorized to exist, to form a nonprofit public benefit
corporation or other entity exempt from income taxation, as provided,
to raise revenues and receive grants or other financial support from
private or public sources, for the purposes of undertaking or
funding any lawful activity authorized to be undertaken by
CaliforniaVolunteers. The bill would require that the nonprofit
public benefit corporation or other entity use the financial support
it receives solely for the governmental purposes approved by
CaliforniaVolunteers for activities within the scope of authority of
CaliforniaVolunteers. The bill would prohibit the nonprofit public
benefit corporation or other entity from using for its own
administrative costs more than 10% of the grants and financial
support it receives. The bill would specify the mission of that
nonprofit public benefit corporation or other entity.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Chapter 5.6 (commencing with Section 8400) is added to
Division 1 of Title 2 of the Government Code, to read:
      CHAPTER 5.6.  CALIFORNIAVOLUNTEERS


   8400.  (a) CaliforniaVolunteers, as established by Executive Order

Code or Section 23701d of the Revenue and Taxation Code to raise

lawful activity authorized to be undertaken by CaliforniaVolunteers.
Grants or financial support received by the nonprofit public benefit
corporation or other entity shall be used solely for the governmental
purposes approved by CaliforniaVolunteers for activities within the

benefit corporation or other entity may be used to pay for the
