LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 92, Committee on Budget. State government.
(1) Existing law provides that there is the Transit-Oriented
Development Implementation Fund from which the Department of Housing
and Community Development shall provide grants and loans to cities,
counties, cities and counties, transit agencies, and developers for
the purpose of developing or facilitating the development of higher
density uses within close proximity to transit stations that will
increase public transit riderships. Existing law appropriates various
sums to this fund for use by the department for liquidation of
encumbrances for limited periods of time, as specified.
This bill instead would extend the period of time during which the
appropriated funds shall be available for liquidation of
encumbrances until June 30, 2017, subject to performance-based
milestones to be established by the department.
Existing law provides that there is the Regional Planning,
Housing, and Infill Incentive Account in the Housing and Emergency
Shelter Trust Fund of 2006 from which funds shall be available, upon
appropriation by the Legislature, and subject to other conditions and
criteria as the Legislature may provide in statute, for infill
incentive grants for capital outlay related to infill housing
development and other related infill development, and for brownfield
cleanup that promotes infill housing development and other related
infill development consistent with regional and local plans. Existing
law appropriates various sums to this fund for use by the department
for liquidation of encumbrances for limited periods of time, as
specified.
This bill instead would extend the period of time during which the
appropriated funds shall be available for liquidation of
encumbrances until June 30, 2017, subject to performance-based
milestones to be established by the department.
Because this bill would extend the period of time during which
various appropriations are available for use by the department for
particular purposes, this bill would make an appropriation.
(2) Existing law requires the county auditor, in each fiscal year,
to allocate property tax revenue to local jurisdictions in
accordance with specified formulas and procedures, and generally
requires that each jurisdiction be allocated an amount equal to the
total of the amount of revenue allocated to that jurisdiction in the
prior fiscal year, subject to certain modifications, and that
jurisdiction's portion of the annual tax increment, as defined.
Existing property tax law also reduces the amounts of ad valorem
property tax revenue that would otherwise be annually allocated to
the counties, cities, and special districts pursuant to these general
allocation requirements by requiring, for purposes of determining
property tax revenue allocations in each county for the 1992-93 and
1993-94 fiscal years, that the amounts of property tax revenue deemed
allocated in the prior fiscal year to the counties, cities, and
special districts be reduced in accordance with certain formulas.
Existing law requires that the revenues not allocated to the
counties, cities, and special districts as a result of these
reductions be transferred to the Educational Revenue Augmentation
Fund in that county for allocation to school districts, community
college districts, and the county office of education.
Existing law requires the county auditor to decrease, for the
fiscal adjustment period, as defined, the amount of ad valorem
property tax revenue allocated to a county's Educational Revenue
Augmentation Fund by the countywide adjustment amount, as defined,
and requires the auditor to instead allocate this amount to the Sales
and Use Tax Compensation Fund in the county. Existing law requires,
during this same period, the county auditor to allocate moneys from
the Sales and Use Tax Compensation Fund to cities and counties to
reimburse these entities for local tax revenue losses resulting from
a specified statute, as provided. Existing law defines the "fiscal
adjustment period" as the period beginning with the 2004-05 fiscal
year and continuing through the fiscal year in which the Director of
Finance provides a notification to the State Board of Equalization,
as provided. Existing law specifies the manner in which the
countywide adjustment amount is required to be calculated and to be
allocated after the end of the fiscal adjustment period.
This bill would redefine the "fiscal adjustment period" to instead
mean the fiscal year in which the Director of Finance provides a
specified notification to the State Board of Equalization or the
fiscal year in which an additional countywide adjustment amount is
determined by the Director of Finance, whichever is later. This bill
would require the Director of Finance to estimate when the
notification to the State Board of Equalization is likely to occur,
and to determine the month of that notification, as provided.
This bill would require the Director of Finance, in the calendar
year quarter when the director determines that the notification to
the State Board of Equalization will occur within either the current
or subsequent quarter, to revise the countywide adjustment amount, as
specified. This bill would require the Director of Finance, after
the end of the revenue exchange period, to provide a schedule to the
Controller and the auditor of each county and a copy to the Joint
Legislative Budget Committee, of amounts required to be transferred
from the Fiscal Recovery Fund to the Sales and Use Tax Compensation
Fund in each county, as specified. This bill would require the
Controller to transfer the amounts specified in the schedule from the
Fiscal Recovery Fund to the Sales and Use Tax Compensation Fund in
each county for allocation by the auditor of each county to the
county and each city in the county, as provided, thereby making an
appropriation.
(3) The Personal Income Tax Law and the Corporation Tax Law
exclude the recognition of any gain or loss on the exchange of
property held for productive use in a trade or business or for
investment, if that property is exchanged solely for property of a
like kind that is to be held either for productive use in a trade or
business or for investment. Existing law authorizes the Franchise Tax
Board to propose an assessment upon a failure to file a return, as
provided.
This bill would, for exchanges that occur in taxable years
beginning on or after January 1, 2014, require taxpayers to file an
informational return with the Franchise Tax Board if the property
acquired in the exchange is located out of state. The bill would
authorize the Franchise Tax Board to make an estimate of the net
income, from any available information, and to propose to assess the
amount of tax, interest, and penalties due in a specified manner if
the taxpayer fails to file the information return, and fails to file
a tax return, as provided.
(4) Existing law, the Housing and Emergency Shelter Trust Fund Act
of 2006, authorizes the issuance of bonds in the amount of
$2,850,000,000 pursuant to the State General Obligation Bond Law.
Proceeds from the sale of these bonds are used to finance various
existing housing programs, capital outlay related to infill
development, brownfield cleanup that promotes infill development,
housing-related parks, and transit-oriented development administered
by the Department of Housing and Community Development. Existing law
appropriates $50,000,000, and additional moneys, as specified, of
bond revenues to the Department of Housing and Community Development.
From that amount, existing law allocates $25,000,000, and additional
moneys, as specified, from the Regional Planning, Housing, and
Infill Incentive Account for infill incentive grants, and
$25,000,000, and additional moneys, from the Transit-Oriented
Development Implementation Fund for transit-oriented grants and
loans, including any moneys allocated and appropriated that become
disencumbered and redeposited in the Transit-Oriented Development
Account during the 2012-13 fiscal year, for the purpose of funding
transit-oriented grants and loans, as specified.
This bill would additionally allocate any moneys allocated and
appropriated that become disencumbered and redeposited in the
Transit-Oriented Development Account during the 2013-14 fiscal year
for the purpose of funding transit-oriented grants and loans, as
specified, thereby making an appropriation.
(5) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately
as a bill providing for appropriations related to the Budget Bill.
Appropriation: yes.

to read:
97.68. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in allocating
ad valorem property tax revenue allocations for each fiscal year
during the fiscal adjustment period, all of the following apply:
(a) (1) The total amount of ad valorem property tax revenue
otherwise required to be allocated to a county's Educational Revenue
Augmentation Fund shall be reduced by the countywide adjustment
amount.
(2) The countywide adjustment amount shall be deposited in a Sales
and Use Tax Compensation Fund that shall be established in the
treasury of each county.
(b) For purposes of this section, the following definitions apply:
(1) "Fiscal adjustment period" means the period beginning with the
2004-05 fiscal year and continuing through the later of either of
the following:
(A) The fiscal year in which the Director of Finance notifies the
State Board of Equalization pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section
99006 of the Government Code.
(B) The fiscal year in which an additional countywide adjustment
amount, as described in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (3) of
subdivision (d), is determined.
(2) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (d), the
"countywide adjustment amount" means the combined total revenue loss
of the county and each city in the county that is annually estimated
by the Director of Finance, based upon the actual amount of sales and
use tax revenues transmitted under Section 7204 in that county in
the prior fiscal year and any projected growth on that amount for the
current fiscal year as determined by the State Board of Equalization
and reported to the director on or before August 15 of each fiscal
year during the fiscal adjustment period, to result for each of those
fiscal years from the 0.25-percent reduction in local sales and use
rate tax authority applied by Section 7203.1. The director shall
adjust the estimates described in this paragraph if the board reports
to him or her any changes in the projected growth in local sales and
use tax revenues for the current fiscal year.
(3) "In lieu local sales and use tax revenues" means those
revenues that are transferred under this section to a county or a
city from a Sales and Use Tax Compensation Fund or an Educational

(c) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (d), for each
fiscal year during the fiscal adjustment period, in lieu sales and
use tax revenues in the Sales and Use Tax Compensation Fund shall be
allocated among the county and the cities in the county, and those
allocations shall be subsequently adjusted, as follows:
(1) The Director of Finance shall, on or before September 1 of
each fiscal year during the fiscal adjustment period, notify each
county auditor of that portion of the countywide adjustment amount
for that fiscal year that is attributable to the county and to each
city within that county.
(2) The county auditor shall allocate revenues in the Sales and
Use Tax Compensation Fund among the county and cities in the county
in the amounts described in paragraph (1). The auditor shall allocate
one-half of the amount described in paragraph (1) in each January
during the fiscal adjustment period and shall allocate the balance of
that amount in each May during the fiscal adjustment period.
(3) After the end of each fiscal year during the fiscal adjustment
period, other than a fiscal year subject to subdivision (d), the
Director of Finance shall, based on the actual amount of sales and
use tax revenues that were not transmitted for the prior fiscal year,
recalculate each amount estimated under paragraph (1) and notify the
county auditor of the recalculated amount.
(4) If the amount recalculated under paragraph (3) for the county
or any city in the county is greater than the amount allocated to
that local agency under paragraph (2), the county auditor shall, in
the fiscal year next following the fiscal year for which the
allocation was made, transfer an amount of ad valorem property tax
revenue equal to this difference from the Sales and Use Tax
Compensation Fund to that local agency.
(5) If the amount recalculated under paragraph (3) for the county
or any city in the county is less than the amount allocated to that
local agency under paragraph (2), the county auditor shall, in the
fiscal year next following the fiscal year for which the allocation
was made, reduce the total amount of ad valorem property tax revenue
otherwise allocated to that city or county from the Sales and Use Tax
Compensation Fund by an amount equal to this difference and instead
allocate this difference to the county Educational Revenue
Augmentation Fund.
(6) If there is an insufficient amount of moneys in a county's
Sales and Use Tax Compensation Fund to make the transfers required by
paragraph (4), the county auditor shall transfer from the county
Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund an amount sufficient to make
the full amount of these transfers.
(d) (1) At such time as the Director of Finance estimates that the
notification described in subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) of
subdivision (b) is likely to occur within the subsequent 12 months,
the director shall, at the beginning of each subsequent calendar year
quarter, determine the month in which the notification will occur.
(2) (A) In the calendar year quarter in which the Director of
Finance determines that the notification described in subparagraph
(A) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) will occur within either the
current or subsequent quarter, the director shall revise the
countywide adjustment amount described in subdivision (c) for the
current fiscal year such that the countywide adjustment amount is
calculated only through the quarter in which the director gives
notification pursuant to subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) of
subdivision (b). The director, when appropriate, may revise the
countywide adjustment amount described in subdivision (c) for the
subsequent fiscal year such that the countywide adjustment amount
described in subdivision (c) is calculated only through the quarter
in which the director gives notification pursuant to subparagraph (A)
of paragraph (1) of subdivision (b).
(B) If the determination regarding the notification described in
subparagraph (A) is revised, the countywide adjustment amount
calculated in subparagraph (A) for either the current or the
subsequent fiscal year shall be recalculated such that the countywide
adjustment amount described in subdivision (c) is calculated only
through the quarter in which the Director of Finance gives
notification pursuant to subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) of
subdivision (b).
(3) (A) After the end of the revenue exchange period, the Director
of Finance shall do both of the following:
(i) Provide to the Controller, with a copy to the Joint
Legislative Budget Committee, a schedule providing for a transfer
from the Fiscal Recovery Fund, established pursuant to Section 99008
of the Government Code, to the Sales and Use Tax Compensation Fund of
either of the following amounts:
(I) An amount equal to the local sales and use tax revenue not
received by the county and each city in the county during the revenue
exchange period as a result of the 0.25-percent reduction in local
sales and use tax authority applied by Section 7203.1 minus the sum
of all countywide adjustment amounts deposited during the revenue
exchange period, as determined by the director. This amount shall be
summed over all counties.
(II) If the amount summed over all counties in subclause (I) is
greater than the difference between the balance in the Fiscal
Recovery Fund and an amount sufficient to cover the estimated costs
associated with closing the Fiscal Recovery Fund, then a proportion
shall be calculated equal to the proportion between the amount in
subclause (I) summed over all counties and an amount equal to the
difference between the balance in the Fiscal Recovery Fund and an
amount sufficient to cover the estimated costs associated with
closing the Fiscal Recovery Fund. The amount calculated under this
subclause is equal to the product of the amount calculated in
subclause (I) and the proportion calculated in this subclause.
(ii) Provide a schedule to the auditor of each county of the
amounts calculated under clause (i).
(B) If the amount provided for in the schedule required pursuant
to clause (i) of subparagraph (A) is the amount that is described in
subclause (II) of clause (i) of subparagraph (A), an amount equal to
the difference between the amount that is described in subclause (I)
of clause (i) of subparagraph (A) and the amount that is described in
subclause (II) of clause (i) of subparagraph (A) shall constitute an
additional countywide adjustment amount to be applied in the manner
prescribed in subdivision (a) for either the current or subsequent
fiscal year, as determined by the director.
(4) The Controller shall transfer, from the Fiscal Recovery Fund
to the Sales and Use Tax Compensation Fund for each county, the
amount specified for that county in the schedule provided by the
Director of Finance pursuant to clause (i) of subparagraph (A) of
paragraph (3).
(5) Within 60 days of the transfer by the Controller of revenues
from the Fiscal Recovery Fund to the Sales and Use Tax Compensation
Fund for each county, each county auditor shall allocate revenue to
the county and each city in the county per the schedule provided by
the Director of Finance pursuant to clause (ii) of subparagraph (A)
of paragraph (3).
(6) For purposes of this subdivision, "revenue exchange period"
has the same meaning as defined in subdivision (b) of Section 7203.1.
(e) For the 2005-06 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter,
the amounts determined under subdivision (a) of Section 96.1, or any
successor to that provision, may not reflect any portion of any
property tax revenue allocation required by this section for a
preceding fiscal year.
(f) This section may not be construed to do any of the following:
(1) Reduce any allocations of excess, additional, or remaining
funds that would otherwise have been allocated to cities, counties,
cities and counties, or special districts pursuant to clause (i) of
subparagraph (B) of paragraph (4) of subdivision (d) of Section 97.2,
clause (i) of subparagraph (B) of paragraph (4) of subdivision (d)
of Section 97.3, or Article 4 (commencing with Section 98), had this
section not been enacted. The allocation made pursuant to
subdivisions (a) and (c) shall be adjusted to comply with this
paragraph.
(2) Require an increased ad valorem property tax revenue
allocation to a community redevelopment agency.
(3) Alter the manner in which ad valorem property tax revenue
growth from fiscal year to fiscal year is determined or allocated in
a county.
(g) Existing tax exchange or revenue sharing agreements, entered
into prior to the operative date of this section, between local
agencies or between local agencies and nonlocal agencies shall be
deemed to be temporarily modified to account for the reduced sales
and use tax revenues, resulting from the temporary reduction in the
local sales and use tax rate, with those reduced revenues to be
replaced in kind by property tax revenue from a Sales and Use Tax
Compensation Fund or an Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund, on a
temporary basis, as provided by this section.
SEC. 4. Section 18032 is added to the Revenue and Taxation Code,

Franchise Tax Board for the taxable year of the exchange and for each
subsequent taxable year in which the gain or loss from that exchange
has not been recognized, in the form and manner prescribed by the
Franchise Tax Board.

pursuant to subdivision (a), and fails to file a return required
under Part 10.2 (commencing with Section 18401), the Franchise Tax
