LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 1423, as amended,  Committee on Revenue and Taxation   Perea  .  Sales and use taxes: exemptions.   Income taxes: federal conformity: Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010.   The Personal Income Tax Law and the Corporation Tax Law, in modified conformity with federal income tax laws, provide for particular treatment of regulated investment companies, as specified, including particular treatment regarding capital loss carryovers, income and asset tests, dividend designation and allocation rules, the determination of earnings and profits, the passthrough of exempt-interest dividends and foreign tax credits, spillover dividends, return of capital distribution, distributions in redemption of stock, preferential dividends, deferral of late-year losses, holding period requirements, and sales load basis.   This bill would, under both laws, provide additional conformity with federal income tax laws by adopting specified provisions of the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 relating to regulated investment companies, as specified, including the imposition of a tax upon those companies that fail the above-mentioned asset test.   This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.   Existing laws impose a sales tax on retailers measured by the gross receipts from the sale of tangible personal property sold at retail in this state, or a use tax on the storage, use, or other consumption in this state of tangible personal property purchased from a retailer for storage, use, or other consumption in this state. Existing law provides various exemptions from the taxes imposed by those laws, including partial exemptions for the sale of, or the storage, use, or other consumption of, liquified petroleum gas, farm equipment and machinery, timber harvesting equipment and machinery, and racehorse breeding stock, when purchased for use for specified activities by a qualified person, as defined. Existing law provides that those exemptions became effective September 1, 2001, unless the State Board of Equalization determined that implementation by that date was not feasible, in which case the board was required to report to the Legislature regarding the reason for delayed implementation and to implement the exemption no later than October 1, 2001. The State Board of Equalization adopted regulations implementing these exemptions, which were operative September 1, 2001.   This bill would delete the provisions relating to an authorization for a delayed implementation in 2001 of these exemptions.  Vote:  majority   2/3  . Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee:  no   yes  . State-mandated local program: no. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:  SECTION 1.

This act is an urgency statute necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety within the meaning of Article IV of the Constitution and shall go into immediate effect. The facts constituting the necessity are:   Given the enactment of the federal Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act on December 22, 2010, which has already changed the tax rules pertaining to mutual funds and their shareholders for federal tax purposes, in order to avoid having two materially different federal and California tax rules governing the same investment and same income, and to eliminate uncertainty and confusion regarding the taxation of earnings and profits of Regulated Investment Companies and of the distributions to the some 6 million California shareholders, and thereby minimize unnecessary and costly administrative burdens that adversely impact the Franchise Tax Board, it is necessary for this act to take effect immediately.
