HAVE A QUORUM.
WE'RE NOT GONNA BE MOVING ON TO
THE MAJORITY LEADER MAJORITY
LEADER CALL THEIR OWN --
AS THE MAJORITY LEADER IS MAKING
HIS WAY UP I WANT TO TAKE A
MOMENT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE
MAJORITY LEADER FOR WORKING WITH
US ON THIS IMPORTANT BILL.
AND I THINK THE OTHER PIECE
ABOUT THIS BILL IS THAT AND HE'S
VERY FOCUSED ON ENSURING THAT
SMALL BUSINESSES IN THIS STATE
THREE POINT SEVEN MILLION
STRONG.
TWENTY FIVE EMPLOYEES ARE UNDER
HAVE THE ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO
LOOK AT THIS TAX EXEMPTION IT IS
IMPORTANT FOR ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT BUSINESS GROWTH AS
WANNA SAY THANK YOU TO THE
MAJORITY LEADER FOR HIS.
COMMITMENT TO SMALL BUSINESSES
HERE IN.
CALIFORNIA IN THIS IS AN
IMPORTANT BILL.
MAJORITY LEADER THIS HAS
BIPARTISAN SUPPORT SO WE WOULD
LIKE TO WELCOME TRUNCATED AT
PRESENTATION IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO
SEE CERTAIN WELCOME.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS --
AB TEN EIGHTY FIVE SEEKS TO HAVE
EXEMPTING NEW SMALL BUSINESSES
FROM HAVING TO PAY THE MINIMUM
FRANCHISE TAX IN THEIR FIRST
YEAR.
CALIFORNIA HAS THE OPPORTUNITY
TO SPUR ECONOMIC GROWTH GROWTH
AND CREATE JOBS FOR ITS
RESIDENTS BY ALLEVIATING THE
COST RESTRAINTS NEW BUSINESSES
FACE DURING THE FIRST YEAR OF
OPERATING.
AB TEN NINETY FIVE IS A LONG
TERM SOLUTION FOR CALIFORNIA
BUSINESSES. FOR THE LONG TERM A
CALIFORNIA BUSINESS ECONOMY AND
ENCOURAGE THE COURAGE AS
BUSINESS OWNERS TO EXPLORE THEIR
ENTREPRENEURIAL CAPABILITIES I
THINK.
ALL OF US AS LEGISLATORS IN THE
STATE SHOULD WANT TO GIVE SMALL
BUSINESSES OR ANY BUSINESS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO YOU KNOW KEEP
THAT CAPITAL EARLY ON TO HELP
THEM BE MORE SUCCESSFUL LONG
TERM -- I
THINK IF YOU'RE A BUSINESS OWNER
OR YOU'RE SOMEBODY WHO WANTS TO
START A BUSINESS HERE IN
CALIFORNIA WE SHOULD AS A STATE
BE DOING WHATEVER WE CAN. TO
GIVE YOU THAT LEG UP EARLY ON
AND SO THAT'S WHAT THIS BILL IS
ALL ABOUT LITTLE BIT OF RELIEF.
ALWAYS HELPS THE HUNDRED DOLLAR
FEE IS MORE OF LIKE A
CONGRADULATIONS I HERE'S A FEW
YOU GET TO PAY FOR DOING
BUSINESS HERE IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
I THINK IT'S A BETTER MESSAGE TO
SAY.
THANK YOU FOR DOING BUSINESS
HERE IN CALIFORNIA FOR THE FIRST
YEAR WE'RE GONNA GO AHEAD WE
INDUSTRY FOR YOU.
IN IN ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT I
WOULD SAY WITH THE MAJORITY
LEADER IS THAT HE'S BEEN.
VERY TARGETED TO BE ABLE TO HELP
THOSE SMALLER BUSINESSES IN THIS
STATE --
WITH SMALLER GROSS REVENUE BUT
TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THE JOY OF
DOING BUSINESS HERE IN
CALIFORNIA ME THIS EIGHT HUNDRED
DOLLARS ACTUALLY CAN MAKE A
DIFFERENCE.
ON AND IF WE'RE GOING TO WAIVE
IT FOR THE FIRST YEAR FOR
CORPORATIONS IN THE STATE AND WE
BETTER BE FOCUSING ON THOSE
SMALL BUSINESSES WHILE RIGHT
AGAIN.
REALLY PPRECIATE YOU WORK WITH
US AND FOR LET'S OPEN IT UP A
BIT TO SEE IF WE HAVE ANYONE IN
SUPPORT.
WHO'D LIKE TO BE TO SPEAK IN
SUPPORT OF THE BILL TO COMPLETE
ADVANCE AT THIS TIME.
YOU KNOW LIKE TODAY TO SEE IF WE
HAVE ANYONE WHO'S SUPPOSED TO BE
PLEASE COME FORWARD.
LET'S BRING IT BACK TO COMMITTEE
--
AND SEE IF ANY QUESTIONS
COMMENTS IN IRAQ MIXTURE US
CINNAMON CALLED RUN OR WHY DON'T
WE JUST ELIMINATE.
THIS EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLAR
MINIMUM TAX.
WELL WHAT I MEAN IT'S STILL
GENERATES A LOT OF REVENUE FOR
THE STATE SO YOU KNOW REVENUE WE
PUT BACK INTO DIFFERENT PROGRAMS
THAT WE CAN USE TO HELP SMALL
BUSINESSES ALONG WITH EDUCATION
SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR
THE STATE TO STILL GENERATE THE
REVENUE DOWN THE LINE.
WHAT THE BUSINESS IS MORE STABLE
I JUST THINK THAT FOR THE FIRST
YEAR?
THE TOUGH YEAR FOR IN ANY NEW
BUSINESS INSULTS GIVE THEM THAT
WHERE WE FEEL COMFORTABLE AND
THEY FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE PAIN
AT A HUNDRED DOLLAR FEE?
THANK YOU THANK YOU RICHARD.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.

IT'S IMPORTANT FOR START UP ON
THIS RIGHT.

I WILL BE VERY BRIEF --
WITH COVERED CALIFORNIA WE HAVE
TAX CREDITS IN PLACE FOR THOSE
MAKING LESS THAN 4100% OF THE
FEDERAL POVERTY LIVER LIMIT WHEN
IT COMES TO PAYING FOR YOUR
HEALTH CARE PREMIUM.
HOWEVER FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE AS
INCOME EXCEEDS 4100% THEY'RE ON
THEIR OWN AND IN MANY PLACES
PARTICULAR URBAN AREAS IN MY
DISTRICT WITH THE COST OF RENT
BEING WHAT IT IS.
AND ALL THE OTHER EXPENSES
PEOPLE HAVE TO PAY --
IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT FOR PEOPLE
AND JUST TO POINT OUT THAT 540%
OF API IS FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
OF INCOME SO THIS WOULD EXPAND
THAT TAX CREDIT PROGRAM. TO
PEOPLE MAKING ABOVE THAT'S THAT
THEY CAN AFFORD THEIR HEALTHCARE
PREMIUMS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR AN ANSWER
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE
FOR ALL YOUR WORK.
TURNOVER YOU END WITH A BRIEF
PRESENTATION OF DEATH BELLAMY
HAVE HALTHAXIS CALIFORNIA
WILLING TO START OFF BY THANKING

STAFF.
FOR WORKING WITH US AND AFTER
BEING COVERED CALIFORNIA TO
CRAFT A BILL THAT CAN ACTUALLY
BE IMPLEMENTED THAT WAS NOT THE
CASE WHEN THIS BILL ARRIVED IN
THIS COMMITTEE AND WE VERY MUCH
APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT'S BEEN
DONE TO MAKE IT A WORKABLE BILL.
IN ADDITION THE POINTS MS
FRIEDMAN MADE I'LL JUST POINT
OUT THAT IN YOUR DISTRICT
SENATOR MCGUIRE SOMEBODY A
MARRIED COUPLE MAKING SEVENTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR WOULD
END UP SPENDING --
SEVENTEEN TO TWENTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS FOR COVERAGE THAT HAD A
SIX THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED
DOLLAR DEDUCTIBLE FOR EACH OF
THEM.
AND SENATOR WIN AND SENATOR
DISTRICT IT WOULD BE A LITTLE
CHEAPER D. FOURTEEN THOUSAND
DOLLARS A YEAR FOR COVERAGE THAT
HAD DEDUCTIBLES OF SIX THOUSAND
THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR EACH
OF THEM.
THAT'S WHAT THIS BILL IS
NECESSARY THIS WILL HELP FOLKS
MAKING SIXTY FIVE SEVENTY EIGHTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS HERE BE ABLE TO
AFFORD COVERAGE AND WE'RE
PLEASED TO BE THE SPONSOR.
THANK YOU SO MUCH AND I JUST
WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO BET
SHE'S SHE'S BEEN SUCH A
CHAMPIONS CAPITAL FOR SO LONG
AND ALL ISSUES OF ACCESS TO CARE
INTO VERY GRATEFUL FOR ALL OF
YOUR WORK AND THANK YOU FOR
WORKING WITH THE COMMITTEE AS
WELL BOTH THIS.
AND THE WOMAN TOWARD MISS CANAL
PLEASE SIR ARE COVERED WITH
SMALL BUSINESS MAJORITY WE ARE
SMALL BUSINESS EDUCATION AND
ADVOCACY ORGANIZATION A COUPLE
QUICK POINTS --
ONE IS AND WE KNOW THAT THE
INDIVIDUAL MARKET IS INCREDIBLY
IMPORTANT TO WATCH FROM OR STIR
OVER --
THREE HUNDRED SEVENTY THOUSAND
AS SELF EMPLOYED FOLKS IN COVER
CALIFORNIA CURRENTLY --
AND WE ALSO KNOW THAT THE
ACCORDING TO US SMALL BUSINESS
ADMINISTRATION THE MEDIAN INCOME
IN CALIFORNIA FOR SELF EMPLOYED
INDIVIDUAL WITH INCORPORATED
BUSINESS WAS FIFTY SIX THOUSAND
DOLLARS A YEAR.
THAT PUTS THEM JUST ABOVE THAT
FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLAR THRESHOLD
CUT OFF SO THIS BILL WOULD HELP
MAKE INSURANCE MORE AFFORDABLE
FOR THOSE BUSINESS OWNERS.
WE ALSO KNOW OF THE REMAINING
UNINSURED 44% OF THOSE FOLKS AT
WORK FOR A COMPANY THAT HAS LESS
THAN FIFTY EMPLOYEES I'M SO
MAKING IT MORE AFFORDABLE I WILL
ALLOW THOSE EMPLOYEES HAVE
ACCESS MORE INJURED SO WE
APPRECIATE.
THE AUTHOR IN THE COMMITTEE --
AND ENCOURAGE YOU TO SUPPORT
THIS BILL THANK YOU SO MUCH
WE'RE GONNA INVITE FOLKS WHO ARE
IN SUPPORT OF FIRST CLASS
ORGANIZATION BRAIN SPENCER WITH
THE CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF FAMILY
PHYSICIANS IN SPORT.

NOW LIKE RICHARD OVER TO THOSE
WHO MAY BE OPPOSED IF YOU COULD
PLEASE ADVANCE THIS TIME.
LET'S BRING BACK TO COMMITTEE
FOR ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS
INTERLOCK [inaudible]
FAIR.
FAMILY WOMAN FRIEDMAN GOOD TO
SEE YOU --
WHEN SOMEONE?
THE DUCKS THEIR MEDICAL EXPENSES
ON THEIR FEDERAL TAX RETURN
BECAUSE OF THE LIMITATIONS SET
BY THE ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME
IT'S USUALLY LIKE AT ZERO
DEDUCTION FOR MOST.
PEOPLE SO I'M.
I'M CURIOUS SENSORS REALLY NO
FEDERAL TAX BENEFIT.
YOU KNOW LESS.
YOU KNOW YOU SPEND ALL YOUR
MONEY ON THE PREMIUMS AND A LOT
OF EMPLOYEES ACTUALLY PAID FOR
BY.
EMPLOYERS.
WHY SHOULD CALIFORNIA GIVE A
BETTER TAX CREDIT OR A TAX
BENEFIT THAN THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT?
AND THEN.
TO HOW ARE YOU GOING TO CONVINCE
OUR GOVERNOR.
TO NOT VETO A TAX CREDIT.
WHILE THE LATTER --
IF YOU COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW
TO GET THE GOVERNOR TO NOT VETO
ANY PARTICULAR BILL.
THAT WOULD BE GREAT INFORMATION
FOR YOU TO SHARE WITH ME --
SO I I CAN'T SPEAK TO THAT I
WILL SAY IN TERMS OF THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT THAT CALIFORNIA
CERTAINLY NOT MAKING ITS --
POLICIES TO TRY TO ALIGN WITH
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THIS
POINT BUT TO TRY TO FILL IN THE
HOLES LEFT BY THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT.
AND WE JUST KNOW THAT FOR OUR
COMMUNITY FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE
HAVING TO PURCHASE ON THE
INDIVIDUAL MARKETS FOR PEOPLE
WHO ARE SELF EMPLOYED OR
ENTREPRENEURS.
THAT HEALTHCARE PREMIUM IS IS A
HUGE UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED
BECAUSE THEY SIMPLY CAN'T AFFORD
IT IF YOU'RE PAYING.
IN MY AREA THE AVERAGE IS ABOUT
TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED THREE
THOUSAND DOLLARS A MONTH FOR
RENT.
I JUST AWESOME TO SEE YESTERDAY
THAT IN MY AREA ON HEALTHCARE
AND CHILDCARE IS 11% OF A LOT OF
PEOPLE'S INCOME 11% TO A
THOUSAND TO TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS
A MONTH JUST FOR LICENSED
CHILDCARE FACILITY --
AND IF YOU'RE MAKING FIFTY SIXTY
EVEN SEVENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS A
YEAR YOU ARE FAR BELOW THE
POVERTY LINE WHEN IT COMES TO
YOUR INCOME ADJUSTED AND THERE'S
NO WAY YOU'RE GOING T PAY FOR
YOUR FAMILY A TWO THOUSAND THREE
THOUSAND DOLLAR A MONTH.
PREMIUM I LOOKED INTO HIS YOU
KNOW WE DON'T HAVE HEALTH
INSURANCE WHEN WE LEAVE.
AND YOU KNOW ME WITH MY FAMILY
WITH MY OWN FAMILY I DON'T KNOW
HOW WE WOULD PAY FOR INSURANCE
FOR OUR FAMILY SO.
THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE --
YOU KNOW ALL.
WORKING AMERICANS WHO KNOW
REALLY WORKING AMERICANS WHO
AREN'T LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE AN
EMPLOYER WHO IS PAYING FOR THEIR
COVERAGE ARE REALLY STRUGGLING
TO PAY THEIR PREMIUMS RIGHT NOW
AND THE IRONY IS THAT IF YOU'RE
UNEMPLOYED OREXTREMELY
IMPOVERISHED YOU YOU GET THAT.
SUBSIDY BUT PEOPLE THAT ARE OUT
THERE STRUGGLING TRYING TO
CREATE THEIR OWN BUSINESSES
TRYING TO JUST DEAL WITH YOUR
EVERYDAY EXPENSES.
YOU CAN'T SKIP YOUR RENT.
THEY'RE GONNA SKIP HAVING THAT
INSURANCE FOR YOUR YOUR FAMILY.
THANK YOU THANK YOU MISTER THANK
YOU SO MUCH IS MORE LOOK LIKE
TODAY TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS
FROM THE COMMITTEE.
SCENE NINE ASSEMBLYWOMAN MURPHY

GRAHAM TO PROMOTE CIVIC
ENGAGEMENT AND IS AN OPPORTUNITY

CONTRIBUTIONS.
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE MASON AND

AB TWENTY TWO SEVENTEEN CREATES
A CONCERT CONTRIBUTORY SYSTEM
WHICH BRINGS A THREE FULL
BENEFIT TO SCHOOLS AND
NONPROFITS THE STATE IN
CALIFORNIA TAXPAYERS AND ALLOWS
DONATING TAXPAYERS TO CHOOSE
WHICH BENEFITS WHICH NONPROFIT
AND SCHOOLS.
THEIR DONATIONS GO TOWARDS
PROMOTING CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND
ENCOURAGING THE CONTINUED
SUPPORT OF NON PROFITS WITH THAT
I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AND I
HAVE A THANK YOU SO MUCH SO IN
IN A GROUP OF PRO YOU WORK ON
THIS BILL WE ALWAYS UP AND
PROFESSOR SHANE SKIS HERE FROM
--
EASY DATA SLIDE AS FANTASTIC
WORK.
IN A IT'S ALWAYS A PLEASURE SIR
THE FLOORS OR SOMETHING THANK
YOU IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE HERE I
I'LL BE BRIEF AS WELL.
THIS COMMITTEE HAS ALREADY
PASSED A SIMILAR BILL SB TWO TWO
SEVEN SO I'M NOT GONNA GO OVER
THE NEED AND BACKGROUND OF THESE
BILLS ON HAPPY TO TALK ABOUT IT
--
I'M HAPPY TALK ABOUT THE
MECHANICS BUT AGAIN I WON'T.
GO THROUGH THAT.
FIRST OFF I WILL INSTEAD FOCUS
MY BRIEF REMARKS ON THREE
REASONS TO PASS THIS BILL ON
GIVEN THAT YOU'VE ALREADY PASSED
A SIMILAR BILL.
FIRST THEY'RE COMPATIBLE AND IN
FACT THEY ARE COMPLEMENTARY ON
SB TWO TWO SEVEN OFFERS A ONE
STOP SHOP TO SUPPORT PUBLIC
EDUCATION AB TWO TWO SEVEN
OFFERS A WIDE VARIETY OF CIVIL
SOCIETY PROGRAMS THAT YOU CAN
SUPPORT.
SECOND AND PERHAPS MOST
IMPORTANTLY WE KNOW THAT THE
TREASURY IS UNDER PRESSURE FROM
TWO DIFFERENT CONSTITUENCIES IN
REGARD TO THESE PROGRAMS.
ON THE ONE HAND THERE IS
POLITICAL PRESSURE FROM ABOVE TO
INVALIDATE HIS CREDIT PROGRAMS
AND WE CAN TALK MORE ABOUT WHERE
THAT PROCESS IS.
ON THE OTHER HAND MANY OF THE
EXISTING BENEFICIARIES OF VERY
SIMILAR PROGRAMS ON CANDOR
ABOUT.
A HUNDRED OF THESE PROGRAMS OVER
THIRTY STATES ARE PRESSURING THE
TREASURY NOT TO BE INVALIDATED
ON BY ANY MOVE THAT HITS THESE
KINDS OF SP TWO TWO SEVEN TYPE
PROGRAMS IRS SEEMLY TO SATISFY
EVERYONE.
AN APPROACH WE'VE SEEN PROMINENT
COMMENTATORS ADVOCATE ADVOCATE
WOULD BE TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN
CONTRIBUTIONS TO STATE FUNDS
SUCH AS THAT IS --
CREATED BY SP.
TWO TWO SEVEN AM CONTRIBUTIONS
TO NON GOVERNMENTAL
ORGANIZATIONS THE KIND OF
ORGANIZATIONS THAT CAN RECEIVE
CONTRIBUTIONS TO A B..
TWO TWO ONE SEVEN AT THE
TREASURY THE IRIS ADOPT THAT
APPROACH THAT SP TWO TWO SEVEN
WOULD BE CAUGHT IN THE CROSS
HAIRS ALONG WITH SIMILAR
LEGISLATION PASSED IN NEW YORK
NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY.
WELL EIGHTY TWO TWO SEVEN WOULD
NOT BE AT LEAST AT LEAST.
INITIAL AN INITIAL ANALYSIS TO
BE SURE WE DON'T YET KNOW HOW
TRASH WHEN THE IRS WILL PROCEED
BUT IT MAKES GOOD SENSE TO GET
THIS BILL OUT THERE AS AN
ALTERNATIVE.
I SHOULD NOTE AS WELL THAT
SHOULD BE IT TREASURY TOP THE
PUBLIC PRIVATE DISTINCTION IT
SHOULD AND LIKELY WOULD FACE
LITIGATION AS IT WOULD BE AN AD
HOC AND SENSELESS AND
DISTINCTION NOT BASED ON THE
LAW.
NEVERTHELESS IT IS A PLAUSIBLE
APPROACH THAT THE IRS MIGHTTAKE.
A THIRD REASON FOR AB.
TWO TWO ONE SEVEN WAS IMPORTANT
REMEMBER THAT THE ENTITIES
HARMED BY THE NEW TAX LAW NOT
JUST THE STATE GOVERNMENT TO THE
EXTENT THAT.
THE TAX PRICED FACED BY STACKS
OF TAXPAYERS HAVE GOT UP BUT NON
PROFITS AND NONPROFITS SUFFER --
MERRILY THROUGH THE DOUBLING OF
THE STANDARD DEDUCTION ON FEWER
PEOPLE WILL BE ITEMIZING EIGHTY
TWO TO ONE SEVEN HELPS
NONPROFITS IN TWO WAYS FIRST YOU
CAN GIVE MONEY TO NONPROFITS AND
GET THIS SORT OF 10% BOMB.
THAT THE NON PROFITS WILL
RECEIVE AND ALSO IF MORE PEOPLE
INCREASE THEIR CHARITABLE GIVING
MORE PEOPLE WILL EXCEED THEIR
STANDARD DEDUCTION LIMITS AND
STILL BE ABLE TO GET THE BENEFIT
OF ITEMIZING.
AND THAT'S WHY AS I UNDERSTAND
IT NOWNONPROFIT COMMUNITY IS IN
SUPPORT OF THIS BILL THANK YOU
THINK SO MUCH PROFESSOR.
WHEN I WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME ON
ANYONE ELSE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK
IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL IF YOU
COULD PLEASE ADVANCED MIKE FROM
THIS TIME PERSON MASS
ORGANIZATION?
WE WELCOME ANYONE WHO MAY BE
OPPOSED IF YOU COULD PLEASE COME
FORWARD [inaudible]
GOOD MORNING.
WE HEARD FROM FIVE CJ IN
EDUCATION YET YES.
WELCOME TO THE COMMITTEE THEN
MORE AFTER BEING HERE THANK YOU
JENNIFER BAKER WITH THE
CALIFORNIA TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.
AND WE WE DO UNFORTUNATELY
OPPOSE THIS MASURE AND I DIDN'T
WANT TO KNOW THAT WE ALSO
OPPOSES B. TWO TWENTY SEVEN IN A
SEAT TO TWENTY TWENTY THREE
WHICH LITERALLY I WAS OPPOSING
ACROSS THE HALL ABOUT FIFTEEN
MINUTES AGO --
I WANTED TO KNOW THAT WE
APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT THE
LEGISLATURE AND ASSEMBLY MEMBER
BURKE IS TRYING TO THINK OF
CREATIVE WAYS TO PROTECT
CALIFORNIA TAXPAYERS WE DO
RECOGNIZE THAT UNFORTUNATELY YOU
--
WE HAVE TO ALSO LOOK AT THE FACT
THAT THERE COULD BE UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES THAT COULD MANIFEST
IN TAKING AWAY EDUCATIONAL
OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS IN
THE FUTURE AND SO WHILE YOUR JOB
IS TO LOOK AT THIS ISSUE.
FROM THE MACRO PERSPECTIVE OUR
JOBS PERSPECTIVE WHEN IT COMES
TO PROTECTING PROP NINETY EIGHT
EVERY TIME YOU GIVE A TAX CREDIT
YOUR HARMING PROP NINETY EIGHT
AND SINCE THIS IS SOMEWHAT OF A
GARGANTUAN TAX CREDIT.
ON THIS COULD HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY
A SIGNIFICANT.
MORE SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON PROP
NINETY EIGHT THAN MANY OTHER
ATTEMPTS SO JUST AS YOU GAVE US
A WONDERFUL BUDGET THIS YEAR I
DO HAVE TO SAY THANK YOU FOR
THAT WE'RE VERY APPRECIATIVE.
WHILE YOU DO THAT WE'RE STILL IN
THE FORTIES WHEN IT COMES TO
EDUCATION FUNDING BUT IF YOU
SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGE THE WAY OUR
TAX REVENUES ARE GOING TO IMPACT
PROP NINETY EIGHT HERE MAKING A
SIGNIFICANT SYSTEMIC CAUGHT IN
THE LONG RUN.
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF
SIGNIFICANT ISSUES IN REGARD TO
SP TWO TWENTY SEVEN THAT WOULD
ALSO HAVE A MASSIVE SYSTEMIC
IMPACT ON PROP NINETY EIGHT SP
--
TWO TWENTY SEVEN IT DOESN'T
RECONCILE THE TAX YEAR BASIS
WOULD PROP NINETY EIGHT FISCAL
YEAR BASIS TIME IT DOESN'T
PROVIDE FOR WHAT HAPPENS IN THE
IRIS THE THAT THE THAT THE IRISH
CHALLENGES THE POLICY --
IN IF NOT AS UNDER ROLLED IN IT
ALSO THERE ISN'T A
CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED
SCHOOLS RIGHT TO SUPPLEMENT
SCHOOL SUB ACCOUNT FUNDS SO
THERE ARE NO MATTER A NUMBER OF
SYSTEMIC PROBLEMS WITH SP TWO
TWENTY SEVEN THAT DON'T PROTECT
PROP.
NINETY EIGHT THIS MEASURE AB
TWENTY TWO SEVENTEEN WITH THEN
SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT OUR TAX
BASE AND YOU ALSO PUT US IN A
SITUATION WHERE SCHOOLS ARE
GOING TO HAVE TO COMPETE WITH.
NON PROFITS FOR FINDING IS THAT
GOING TO BE EQUITABLE HOW WE
UNDERSTAND THE OVERALL GOAL THAT
YOU'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE WE JUST
WANNA MAKE SURE AT THE END OF
THE DAY THAT PROP NINETY EIGHT
IS HARM SO FOR THOSE REASONS WE
UNFORTUNATELY TO OPPOSE THE
MEASURE.
YOU SO MUCH APPRECIATE BEING
HERE AND I'LL HAVE YOU HOLD
RIGHT THERE AS WE ATE BY ANYONE
ELSE WOULD LIKE TO GET TO SPEAK.
IN OPPOSITION OF THE BILL
[inaudible]
ALL RIGHT.
WHY DON'T WE BRING IT BACK TO
COMMITTEE TODAY TO SEE IF ANY
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS INTERLOCK
[inaudible]
SURE -- NOW
WE HAVE A LAW PROFESSOR OR EX
PROFESSOR --
JUST. FOR BACKGROUND I'VE I
PREPARE TAX RETURNS FOR TWO
DECADES BUT I'VE BEEN OUT OF
THAT INDUSTRY FOR TWO DECADES AS
WELL SO.
I TRY TO LOOK UP THE DEFINITION
OF OF REVENUES FOR THE STATE TO
THE GENERAL FUND.
DO CONTRIBUTIONS ARE THEY
INCLUDED IN REVENUES.
SO THE QUESTION I MEAN THIS GOES
TO THE PROP NINETY EIGHT
QUESTION RIGHT.
ARM AND I'M.
NOT PREPARED TO RECITE CHAPTER
AND VERSE ABOUT THAT CLEARLY THE
CTA'S CONCERNED THAT THE
CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION UNDER
PROP.
NINETY EIGHT ON GUARANTEES A
CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF PROCEEDS
OF TAXES TO EDUCATION.
AND THERE'S A QUESTION ABOUT
WHETHER ON THESE CONTRIBUTIONS
WILL BE CONSIDERED PROCEEDS OF
TAXES --
THAT'S A LEGAL QUESTION COM AND
IT WOULD BE AN INTERESTING ONE
TO ARGUE ABOUT --
THE POLITICAL QUESTION.
RAISED BY THE CTA'S IS WHETHER
WHEN THIS MONEY COMES IN THE
LEGISLATURE WOULD SPEND IT ANY
DIFFERENTLY --
ESPECIALLY TO THE EXTENT THAT
THIS PROGRAM MAYBE TWO TWO ONE
SEVEN WOULD NET THE STATE
REVENUE.
SO IT'S AND AND WE'VE BEEN
WILLING TO IF IF THE STATE WAS
NOT WILLING TO ARE THOSE FUNDS
WERE NOT SUBJECT TO PROP NINETY
EIGHT WE HAVE ALREADY.
BEEN VERY CLEAR THAT WE'RE
WILLING TO WORK ON AMENDMENTS TO
ADDRESS THAT ISSUE.
SO IF THEY WERE DECIDED TO NOT
BE SUBJECT PROP NINETY WE WOULD
WORK ON AMENDMENTS TO TO TO
ADDRESS THAT ISSUE SO WE'VE BEEN
WILLING TO DO THAT.
THE LIGHT I LOOKED UP THE
DEFINITION OF OF REVENUES IN THE
STATES MOST RECENT BUDGET DEVIN
LOST.
THREE AND IT SAID THE TYPE A
RECEIPT GENERALLY DERIVED FROM
TAXES LICENSES FEES OR
INVESTMENT EARNINGS IT DID
INCLUDE CONTRIBUTIONS AND DIDN'T
SAY AND DOORS SO I I'M JUST.
FOCUSED YOU KNOW SINCE UNDER
HERS FOR I THAT I'M I'M JUST
CURIOUS THAT YOU KNOW IF IT'S IF
IT'S A CONTRIBUTION AND IT'S NOT
A TAX AND IF IT'S NOT A TAX.
HOW DOES THE STATE?
HAVE THE RIGHT TO TO USE THE
MONEY AND SO I'M.
TRYING TO GET INTO THE SEMANTICS
A LITTLE BIT BUT OF THE SECOND
QUESTION I HAD WAS HOW THIS
WORKS I'M JUST TRYING TO GET
WORK YEAH --
SO IF YOU MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TO
THE UCLA FOUNDATION THAT'S NOT
STATE REVENUES RIGHT.
THAT GOES DIRECTLY TO THE TO THE
CAMPUS RIGHT SO CUTE SO IF YOU
MAKE A CUT YOU CAN CONTINUE OR
NOT -- WE'RE
NOT TAKING AWAY THE TRADITIONAL.
PROCESS BY WHICH SOMEONE CUT
KHAN IS CONTRIBUTIONS SO SOMEONE
CONTINUES TO GIVE A CONTRIBUTION
IN THAT WAY THAT THEY ALWAYS
HAVE THAT'S ONE THING.
IT IS A DIFFERENT MECHANISM TO
BUY IT FOR THE IF THE
INSTITUTION BUYS CREDITS AND
THEN YOU PURCHASE THOSE THAT'S A
DIFFERENT PROCESS WE'VE JUST
ADDED A DIFFERENT CONTRIBUTION
PROCESS NOT TAKEN AWAY THE
STANDARD.
ONE THE CASE SO THAT I CAN STILL
GO IN PLACE THAT STILL WOULD BE
IN PLAISANCE IDEA BUT I'M JUST
TRYING TO START THERE OKAY.
I CAN JUST THIS BECAUSE I AM THE
WAY THE BILL READS ITS OBJECT IF
I GIVE A CONTRIBUTION. TO THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICTS.
THEN DID THEY SEND THE MONEY TO
THE TREASURY YOU'RE PUTS IT IN
THE GENERAL FUND.
SO WE'RE GIVING MONEY TO THE
COLLEGE AND THEN THE COLLEGE
GIVES IT TO THE STATE.
AND THEN THE STATE PUTS IT IS
GENERAL COUNSEL ARE WE TEASING
THE COLLEGES RENO.
HAD HIS.
HELP ME OUT OR WHATEVER I'M I'M
LOOKING I'M YOU KNOW I'M IT
THOUGH YEAH LOOKING TO COUNT AND
SOME WITH NO THE COLLEGE CAME BY
AND LET ME MAKE SURE I'M DOING
THIS RIGHT HERE IS THE SO CALLED
I DON'T LIKE I DON'T WANT TO DO
WRONG.
SO CALLED COMBINED CREDITS.
YOU CAN THEN IF IF EXIST IF A
NONPROFIT IS PARTICIPATING IN
THE PROGRAM.
DON'T LET ME SAY THIS WRONG FOR
HIS PAINTING IN THE PROGRAM.
THEN IF SOMEONE GIVES TO THAT
COLLEGE.
THEN RIGHT AWAY THERE I YOU GO
AHEAD AND DO IT I WONDER
ALTHOUGH SHE LIVES WITH THE
NONPROFIT YET WITH THE NON
PROFIT NOT GOING BACK. TO THE
TREASURY SO THEY STILL GET THE
MONEY NOR NOT TEASING THEM THEY
STILL GET THEIR MONEY AND THEY
ACTUALLY GET TO KEEP MORE OF IT.
BUT THEN THIS IS BUT THEN AND
THEN.
REDUCE ITS PAYMENTS. TO THE
COLLEGE.
WHEN I BUY A SIMILAR AMOUNTS OF
THE STATE IS NOT OUT OF POCKET?
AND NO SIR SO.
SENATOR THE THE ONE ISSUE SO
PLEASE I'M SORRY MY NAME IS HER
SYMBOL THE I PAID FOR ASSEMBLY.
ARMOR THANK YOU.
GORE ON CENTER MORE LOCK THE THE
WAY THE THE CREDIT WORKS IS.
ALL IT DOES IS AUTHORIZED AS THE
ASSEMBLYWOMAN SAID A NEW
MECHANISM BY WHICH THE QUALIFIED
ENTITIES.
IN THE BILL MAY ACCEPT DONATIONS
AND CONTINUE TO INCENTIVIZE
TERRIBLE CONTRIBUTIONS --
THE WAY IT DOES THIS IS BY
[inaudible]
EXCUSE ME.
WHEN IT IS I I IS A DAUNTING
TAXPAYER CAN GO TO ONE OF THESE
QUALIFIED ENTITIES AND SAY THAT?
I WANT TO TAKE PART IN THIS
PROGRAM --
INTO WHICH THE THE QUALIFIED AND
HE'S CONFIGURATION --
WILL GO AHEAD AND TAKE YOUR
DONATION AND AS IT SAYS IN THE
BILL TRANSFER 90% OF THAT TO THE
STATE RETAIN 10% --
AND THEN 80% OF THE DONATION
AMOUNT THEN ALSO GOES BACK TO
THE TAXPAYER IN FORM OF A
CREDIT.
210% OF THE TOTAL DONATION
AMOUNT HAS BEEN RETAINED BY THE
NONPROFIT AND BY THE STATE MINUS
ANY ADMINISTRATIVE FEES AS PER
THE BILL --
THIS IN ALL LIKELIHOOD WILL
INCENTIVIZE.
ACTUALLY GREATER CONTRIBUTIONS
MOUNTS AS PEOPLE GETTING 80% OF
THE TOTAL DOLLAR AMOUNT TO
CONTRIBUTE BACK IN THE FORM OF A
STATE TAX CREDIT.
SO.
WELL IT SEEMS.
THE STATE IS TAKING DONATIONS
FROM NON PROFITS THAT'S NOT
ACTUALLY THE CASE.
SO I PUT THE NONPROFIT RECEIVES
A 100%.
AND THERE'S AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE NONPROFIT AND THE CITY STATE
ROGER YEAH.
AND IT'S OKAY WE'LL GIVE YOU 90%
THAT GOES TO THE STATE.
NONPROFIT KEEPS 10% YES AND THE
DONOR RECEIVES THE TAX CREDIT
BASED ON THE 90%.
THAT WENT INTO THE STATE
GENERATIVE 80% PERCENT PERCENT
OF YEAH [inaudible]
SO.
THE PLAY NINETY AND IT CAN GET
EIGHTY OFF GUEST AND A CASE OF
THEN AND NOW THE STATE HAS THE
MONEY SO.
NOW GETS BACK TO THE DISTINCTION
OF WHAT'S REVENUE.
AND WHAT'S A CONTRIBUTION AND
I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE LEGAL
FRAMEWORK.
THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH YOUR I.
IDEA WE WANT TO GIVE INDIVIDUALS
OF HIGH.
NET WORTH HIGHINCOME AN ABILITY
TO GET A DEDUCTION THAT THEY'VE
LOST WITH THE TAX BILL.
IN DECEMBER OF LAST YEARAND WE
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE NON
PROFITS THAT ARE LOSING THOSE
TAXES THAT ARE LOSING THOSE
CONRIBUTIONS BECAUSE WE HAVE AN
ESTIMATED WHAT IT'S LIKE
SEVENTEEN THAT THERE'S TWO
DIFFERENT ESTIMATES THIRTEEN AND
SEVENTEEN BILLION ARE THE TWO
SEPARATE.
ACTIONS WE'VE RECEIVED SO WE
WANT TO PROTECT THOSE
CONTRIBUTIONS THAT WE NOW BUT
THAT NOW STUDIES SHOW THAT
THOSE.
CHARITABLE DONATIONS WILL REDUCE
BE REDUCED BY.
SO WE'RE TRYING TO PROTECT THAT
AS WELL RIGHT AND AND AND I'M
JUST WORRIED ABOUT MAYBE SOME OF
THE TERMS WERE USING NOW AND HOW
THAT WOULD SHOW UP BABY AND
ATTACKS COURT FOR ANOTHER.
COURT TO INVALIDATE.
SHOULD THIS BILL WILL.
BE SIGNED BY THE GOVERNOR.
PART AND THEN WE HAVE A
CONUNDRUM OF TAX PREPARERS
SAYING.
YOU KNOW WILL WILL THIS HOLD
WILL I BE LIABLE IF I TAKE THIS
APPROACH.
SO IT'S IT'S GOT MY PROFESSIONAL
YOU KNOW NERVOUS ABOUT IT SO I
TRIED THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING
THESE QUESTIONS THAT WE CAN.
EITHER CALM HIM DOWN OR YOU
KNOW.
ANSWER WELL THERE'S GOOD NEWS
AND BAD NEWS IN THIS FRONT FOR
THE IRS.
ON MICHIGAN NOTICE IN MAY THAT
IT WOULD ISSUE REGULATIONS THOSE
RECOLLECTIONS OF BEEN WRITTEN
AND THEN THE HUNTER CURRENTLY
UNDER REVIEW OF THE OFFICE OF
MANAGEMENT BUDGET.
WHICH MEANS I'LL BE COMING OUT
SOON SUBJECT TO NOTICE AND
COMMENT AND AT THAT POINT IF THE
IRS PROMULGATES THEM AS FINAL
REGULATIONS SUBJECT TO LEGAL
CHALLENGE ACTIVITIES SOON AS
THIS FALL.
AND SO I THINK IT'S UNDERSTOOD
THAT A LOT OF TAX TO PARIS WILL
NOT BE ADVISING THEIR CLIENTS
ONE WAY OR ANOTHER AS TO THESE
PROGRAMS UNTIL THERE'S MORE
LEGAL CERTAINTY.
ON THE FACT THAT THE IRS SEEMS
INCLINED TO TAKE ACTION WILL
ACTUALLY MEAN WE'LL GET LEGAL
CERTAINTY SOONER.
THE HOME AND TO THE EXTENT THAT
THIS PROGRAM IS ON DIFFERENT
LEGAL FOOTING SOMEWHAT THAN THE
OTHER PROGRAMS ON IT WOULD BE
REALLY.
BENEFICIAL FOR THIS PROGRAM TO
BE OUT THERE HAS WON FOUR ON THE
COURTS TO CONSIDER.
MRS IN MY LAST MY LAST COUPLE
QUESTIONS.
LIST.
I THINK IT'S AS BIG A RESPONSE I
KNOW SHE'S BEEN MONEY SPADE SAID
A FEW WORDS AND WE'RE GONNA GET
TO HURRY SHOULD.
AS I I JUST I WOULD LIKE YOU TO
RESPOND TO SOAR WE HAVE EQUAL
TIME REAL QUICK IF THAT'S OKAY
SO PLEASE STRAIGHT I I
APPRECIATE IT AND AND PART OF
THIS GETS.
TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONFLICT
THAT WE HAVE AND AND WE
APPRECIATE THAT ON THE FACT THAT
ASSEMBLY MEMBER.
BURKE WOULD.
WOULD BE WILLING TO AMEND THE
BILL UNFORTUNATELY BE PROP
NINETY EIGHT AS PART OF THE
CONSTITUTION SHE WOULD HAVE THE
ONLY WAY THAT YOU CAN PROTECT
PROP.
NINETY EIGHT IS IF YOU AMEND THE
CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION.
BECAUSE EVEN IF YOU WERE TO PUT
IN A LOT SURE IT COULD BE UNDONE
BY.
THE LEGISLATURE IN THE FUTURE
AND UNFORTUNATELY WE DO OPPOSE I
SEE TWENTY THREE WHICH IS CENTER
DELI ON TO ATTEMPT TO TRY TO
RECTIFY THE CONSTITUTIONAL
CONFLICT.
THAT WE HAVE BROUGHT TO HIS
ATTENTION UNDER SB TWO TWENTY
SEVEN SO WHAT DOES DIFFERENTIATE
CALIFORNIA FROM OTHER STATES IN
THEIR ATTEMPT. TO TRY TO PROTECT
TAXPAYERS FROM WITH THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT IS TRYING TO DO TO
HURT THE AMERICAN PUBLIC --
YEAH THE FACT THAT DISTINGUISHES
CALIFORNIA'S WE HAVE PROP NINETY
EIGHT SO IT DOES MAKE IT MUCH
MORE COMPLICATED AND WE JUST
NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
RECOGNIZE THAT AND THAT MEANS
THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE MORE
CREATIVE APPROACHES.
IN THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS WILL
WORK IF IF IT'S OKAY WITH YOU
LIKE THIS TIME SHOULD QUORUM.
HERE OF THE COMMITTEE QUICKLY --
IN JUST SO COOL FOLKS ARE MOVING
THROUGH IT YET THERE YOUR NEED
IS THAT DAY.
SCIENTISTS OR IF YOU COULD
PLEASE TO RECALL.
REQUIRE PRESS IT WHEN.
AS IN BELLE.
AND THIS AND THIS PRESENT
HERTZBERG LARA MORLOCK PRESENT
OR NOT PRESENT ALRIGHT WE HAVE A
QUORUM CENTER MORE LIKE BECKY
SIR THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN I
GET TO MISS BAKER'S CONCERNS --
A TAX CREDIT IS MUCH MORE
VALUABLE THAN EDUCTION.
SO.
WE'RE GIVING THAT CREDIT ON THE
STATE TAX.
RETURN.
FIVE FORTY AND THIS WILL BE A
NICE BENEFIT TO THOSE THAT --
ARE ARE ARE GETTING THIS.
CREDIT.
IF IT'S TO BE MUCH MORE VALUABLE
THAN A DEDUCTION SO.
THAT WILL REDUCE OUR REVENUE IS
THERE A IS THERE A LIMITATION ON
HOW MUCH OF THAT CREDIT YOU CAN
USE OR CAN IT GET IT GET IT
OFFSET THE ENTIRE TAX LIABILITY.
ON THE TAX RETURN.
NO THERE'S NO WOMEN IN.
IT IS THAT THERE'S EVEN A CARRY
FORWARD PROVISION RIGHT IF YOU
DON'T USE IT ALL YOU CARRY IT.
FORWARD CELLS BUTTON FROM A PROP
NINETY EIGHT STANDPOINT IF WE
REDUCED [inaudible]
TAXABLE.
ALL INCOME TAX FOR HIGH INCOME.
TAXPAYERS THIS DRAMATICALLY
YOU'RE GOING TO REDUCE.
THE NET STATE TAX REVENUES WHICH
WOULD REDUCE PROP.
NINETY EIGHT IT'S PERCENTAGES
WELL TIME.
AND SINCE 1% OF OUR TAXPAYERS
PAY ABOUT 50% OF ANY WE CAN GET
IN A MUCH DEEPER CONVERSATION
ABOUT OUR HARD EARNED TAX.
ISSUE ARE INSTABILITY OF OUR TAX
STRUCTURE IN A WAY THAT IS NOW I
MEAN IT'S NOT IN THE MUCH LARGER
CONVERSATION I THINK.
THIS THIS IS THE GOAL OF THIS
AND DIFFERENT THAN SOME OF THE
OTHER PROPOSALS THE GOAL OF THIS
IS TO OFFSET TO MAKE SURE THAT
THE CONTRIBUTIONS AND NON
PROFITS HAVE BEEN GETTING
INCLUDING THOSE --
INSTITUTIONS THAT ACCEPTS THAT
THERE THAT THERE GOES THAT THE
CONTRIBUTIONS OF THEM WILL STAY
STABLE AND THAT WE WILL CONTINUE
TO HAVE THAT PROCESS IN PLACE
AND BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL STOP
BUYING AMAZING AND THERE IS A
GRAVE CONCERN THAT THAT.
PROCESS WILL BE DIMINISHED SO.
THAT MEANT THAT THAT WAS THE
FOCUS ANGOLANS ON THIS PROPOSAL
IS TO TOTAL REVENUES THERE IS
THIS QUESTION OF BASKETS AND
NOMENCLATURE IT'S NO QUESTION
ABOUT THAT.
BUT THERE'S NO WAY THE STATE
COMES OUT WITH LESS MONEY FROM
THIS PROGRAM THAT THAT THAT
CAN'T HAPPEN MINUTES IT WOULD BE
A DRAMATIC.
COMMENT THEY COULD MEET IT COULD
MEAN A DRAMATIC SHIFT ON BUT IT
CAN MEAN THAT THE STATE HAS LESS
MONEY.
SO MAYBE JUST TO CLOSE.
I UNDERSTAND.
AND FULLY APPRECIATE THE INTENT
OF THIS BILL.
MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE WHAT'S
CALLED THE RULE OF UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES AND WHAT COULD
ACTUALLY HAPPEN ONCE IT'S
IMPLEMENTED.
AND WE MAY FIND THAT THE
WEALTHY.
WHO ARE?
SUBSIDIZING ONE THIRD OF OUR
BUDGET.
GET A TAX DEDUCTION THAT OR
BENEFIT THAT'S VERY ATTRACTIVE.
WERE ALL OF A SUDDEN NOW THAT
THE BURDEN FALLS ON THE MIDDLE
CLASS IN THE PORT OF FOR OUR
INFRASTRUCTURE IN OUR BUDGETS.
THROUGH THEIR INCOME TAXES
THAT'S MY CONCERN.
AND THAT'S WHY I'M HAVING
DIFFICULTY WITH THIS BILL.
AND I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING
WITH SENATOR MY LIFE TO HAVE A
MUCH LARGER CONVERSATION ON HOW
WE ADDRESS OUR TAX REFORM IN
GENERAL BECAUSE THAT IS A
CONVERSATION THAT IS MUCH LARGER
THAN THIS BILL.
THAT IS A CONVERSATION THAT IS
ABOUT A COMPLETE OF THE
CALIFORNIA STATE SENATE SYSTEM
SO IT GETS A BIT WITH THE
CHAIRMAN HERE I MEAN SHE DOES
PHENOMENAL WORK ON THIS AND IT
IS WITHIN YOUR WILL HOUSE SO --
VERY VERY GRATEFUL FOR ALL THE
WORK ON THAT THINK RELATIONSHIP
THE QUESTIONS BUT LIKE I SAID I
THINK A LOT OF YOUR QUESTIONS
ARE ACTUALLY VERY SYSTEMIC
QUESTIONS BASED ON ON THE WAY
THAT OUR TAX SYSTEM IS
STRUCTURED HERE IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA IN GENERAL.
AND I CONCUR WITH THAT MS BURKE
WE IT'S SCARY YOU KNOW AFFECT
AND THAT'S A CONVERSATION WE ARE
READY TO HAVE.
WE ARE READY TO HAVE THAT
CONVERSATION WILL.
NO THANK YOU MISTER NO THINK IT
SOONER IN THE COMMAND CHAIR
WOULD LIKE TO BE A DIVERSE AND
VERY QUICK COMMENTS WOULD LIKE
TO RECEIVE AN ADDITIONAL
COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM THE
COMMITTEE AT THIS TIME.
I THINK THE OTHER POINT OF THIS
TOO IS THAT WE'RE NOT
REINVENTING THE WHEEL HERE.
IN CALIFORNIA ON THIS ISSUE
THERE ARE STATES GRANTED FOCUS
ON OTHER AREAS.
THAT HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL AT
THIS AND THIS IS NOT A FIGHT
THAT.
THINK ANY OF US WANTED TO BE
ABLE TO HAVE ON THIS SPECIFIC
ISSUE WERE DANCING IS BECAUSE
THE FEDERAL ACTION.
AND IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE
ESPECIALLY IN.
AREAS OF WHERE CENTER MORLOCK OR
WHERE I LIVE --
IN -- IN
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA --
BECAUSE OF THE HIGH COST OF REAL
ESTATE.
THIS IS ALSO ANOTHER IS IS IN A
LOOK AT THOSE DEDUCTIONS THAT
WILL CONTINUE TO COUNT BECAUSE
THE CAPS HAVE BEEN PUT IN PLACE
BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
THAT.
CANDIDLY MY OPINION UNFAIRLY
BURDENS AND PENALIZES
CALIFORNIANS IN RESIDENTS WHO
LIVE IN HIGHER WELL STATES AS
WELL.
UP BUT THAT'S ANOTHER
DISCUSSION.
WHICH WE WILL GO DOWN THAT RAMP
IT'LL HAVE TODAY.
AND WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO SEE
IT BEFORE WE TURN IT OVER TO THE
CHAIR WOMAN FOR A CLOSING
COMMENT SPEAKER ANYTHING THAT
YOU'D LIKE TO MENTION PRIOR TO
CLOSE.
THANK YOU I'VE I DO APPRECIATE
THE OPPORTUNITY WE RECOGNIZE THE
DIFFICULT QUANDARY TEXTURE AND
FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE WE BELIEVE
WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS SHIFTING
RESOURCES FROM EDUCATION TO NON
PROFITS --
THROUGH THE OVERALL POLICY
CHANGE THIS WOULD PROVIDE WE
BELIEVE EDUCATION FUNDING IS A
PRIORITY FOR THE STATE IT'S A
PRIORITY FOR OUR FUTURE.
WE RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE WITH
THE APPROACH WE UNDERSTAND WHY
IT'S BEING UTILIZED BUT WE WOULD
ASK YOU TO CONSIDER THE LONG
TERM CONSEQUENCES FOR EDUCATION
FUNDING.
THANK YOU SO MUCH THANK YOU FOR
BEING HERE TODAY AS WELL.
NURTURED OVER THE CHAIRWOMAN FOR
CLOSING COMMENTS I JUST WANNA
SAY MADAM CHAIR THAT YOU'VE DONE
PHENOMENAL WORK ON THIS THIS IS
--
NOT BEEN AN EASY PIECE OF
LEGISLATION.
EVEN WORK IN IT.
AND WORKING WITH SOME OF THE TOP
EXPERTS IN THE LAND SIDE TO BE
ABLE TO MAKE THIS THING WORK.
IN JUST A VERY GRATEFUL FOR ALL
OF EUROPE SURE SURE CLOSE THANK
YOU --
LISTEN THE DECEMBER TWO THOUSAND
SEVENTEEN TAX LAW HAS PRESENTED
CALIFORNIA AND OTHER STATES WITH
CHALLENGES BUT IT ALSO HAS
PRESENTED US WITH AN OPPORTUNITY
--
CALIFORNIA CAN USE THIS
CHALLENGE TO STRENGTHEN THE
STATE'S EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
HEALTH SYSTEMS AND CHARITABLE
ORGANIZATIONS WELL THE SAME TIME
PROVIDING MUCH NEEDED TAX RELIEF
FOR OUR RESIDENTS AND WITH THAT
I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AN ITEM

--
DID A SENTIMENT.
THAT IS WORKING TO SOLVE AND DO
APPRECIATE ALL YOUR HARD WORK ON
THIS.
AND I GOT TO SAY CHALLENGES IN
THIS IS ONE THAT --
IS UNIQUE IN THE SERMON WORKING
TO TACKLE THIS.
BIPARTISAN SUPPORT SIR --

TRUNCATED VERSION OF YOUR
PRESENTATION AND SHORT STORIES
TESTIMONY FROM YOUR WITNESSES
SUMMON THE FOUR DOORS AND AND
AND LET ME START OUT WITH SURE
THANK YOU --
FOR BRINGING UP THE SUBJECT OF
HELMETS AND BICYCLES WHICH WE
ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO WEAR WHEN
THAT RIDING A BIKE --
IS SO NOT RIGHT IN BY WITHOUT
HELP I'M NOT THAT YOU'RE NOT
AWARE YEAH.
DALLAS HOME MY GOSH THAT THIS
BILL IS NOT ABOUT.
HELMETS THIS BILL IS ABOUT BIKE
SHARE AND THE FACT THAT --
THE LOS ANGELES REGION BEING
MULTI JURISDICTIONAL AS IT IS --
HAS THE FOUND ITSELF IN A
SITUATION WHERE THERE IS MORE
THAN ONE BIKESHARE SYSTEM.
OF THE FIRST BIKESHARE SYSTEM TO
BE IMPLEMENTED WAS IN SANTA
MONICA.
DURING THE TIME THAT I SERVED ON
THE SANTA MONICA CITY COUNCIL.
AND THEN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES
DECIDED THAT IT WOULD IMPLEMENT
A DIFFERENT SYSTEM AND WERE NOW
CONCERNED AS WE WERE FROM THE
GET GO ABOUT COMPATIBILITY THE
SYSTEMS.
BECAUSE WE WANT TO HAVE A
REGIONAL SYSTEM WHERE YOU CAN
RIDE FROM ONE COMMUNITY TO
ANOTHER.
THAT AS YOU KNOW THERE'S EIGHTY
EIGHT CITIES IN LOS AND TO THE
CITY OF LOS ANGELES --
IS THE OF THE BIG BROTHER TO
EVERYBODY AND THE BIG SISTER
CITY AND ELECTED TO GO WITH A
DIFFERENT BIKE SHARE SYSTEM.
THAT SAID --
THIS BILL ALLOWS THE CITY OF
SANTA MONICA --
TO GO AND THERE ARE OTHER CITIES
AS WELL THAT HAVE ADOPTED THE
SANTA MONICA --
A TECHNOLOGY.
IT ALLOWS THE CITY OF SANTA
MONICA TWO YEARS TO ALIGN AND
ADJUST THEIR TAX ELECTION TO
BETTER MATCH THE TAX COLLECTIONS
OF OTHER.
BIKE SHARE SYSTEMS AND ALL OUR
EXPERT TO EXPLAIN WHY THAT IS
IMPORTANT --
BUT WE WANT THESE TWO SYSTEMS TO
BE INTEROPERABLE WITH ONE
ANOTHER.
AND THIS TAX SELECTION IS MADE
IN BUT RIGHT NOW THE TAX
CIRCUMSTANCES MADE THAT
IMPOSSIBLE SO --
THIS BILL WILL FIX THAT AND WE
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR RIVAL
[inaudible]
THEY JUST.
DO NOT BEING MEAN TO BE RUDE BUT
I CENTER MORE LOCK AND I ARE
GONNA HAVE TO GET A STEP OUT.

HOWEVER THE CURRENT SYSTEM DOES
NOT ACCOMMODATE CHARGING USERS
SALES TAX WHEN THEY WRITE A
SANTA MONICA BIKE.
SANTA MONICA OWNED BY VERSES A
BIKE OWNED BY THE CITY OF WEST

END SO THAT THAT'S PROBLEMATIC
FOR US AND WE ARE NOT TRYING TO
SKIRT.
PAYMENTS WE HAVE HAVE HAD WE
CHOSEN THE ELECTION TO PAY THE
TAX AT TIME OF PURCHASE THAT
WOULD HAVE BEEN. SIXTY NINE
THOUSAND DOLLARS.
