The bill would also require all persons required to be licensed as a distributors who are authorized to collect the tax to obtain a separate permit at no charge. The bill would provide that any person required to obtain this permit who engages in business as a distributor without a permit or after a permit has been canceled, suspended, or revoked, and each officer of any corporation that so engages in business, is guilty of a misdemeanor. By creating a new crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
