Amended IN Assembly March 28, 2017 CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE 20172018 REGULAR SESSION Assembly Bill No. 1512Introduced by Assembly Member McCartyFebruary 17, 2017 An act to amend Section 8351 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, relating to taxation. An act to add Division 10.4 (commencing with Section 11740) to the Health and Safety Code, and to add Part 14.3 (commencing with Section 33001) to Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, relating to taxation, to take effect immediately, tax levy.LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTAB 1512, as amended, McCarty. Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax Law. Opioid Addiction Prevention and Rehabilitation Act.Existing law imposes various fees and taxes, including taxes on the privilege of engaging in certain activities. The Fee Collection Procedures Law, the violation of which is a crime, provides procedures for the collection of certain fees and surcharges.This bill, the Opioid Addiction Prevention and Rehabilitation Act, would impose a tax upon the distribution of opioids by every person including, but not limited to, a manufacturer or wholesaler, that makes the first sale in this state of opioids, where the sale is for the purpose of resale in the regular course of business, at the rate of $0.01 per milligram of active opioid ingredient. The tax would be administered by the State Board of Equalization and would be collected pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Fee Collection Procedures Law, which sets forth requirements for registration, returns, payments, penalties, interest, determinations and redeterminations, collections, overpayments and refunds, administration and confidentiality, and violations. By expanding the application of the Fee Collection Procedures Law, the violation of which is a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.The bill would require the board to deposit all taxes, interest, penalties, and other amounts collected, less refunds, in the Opioid Prevention and Rehabilitation Program Fund, which this bill would create. The bill would require all moneys in the fund, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to be transferred to the State Department of Public Health, which would allocate the moneys to counties to provide critical resources for addiction prevention and rehabilitation programs.This bill would include a change in state statute that would result in a taxpayer paying a higher tax within the meaning of Section 3 of Article XIIIA of the California Constitution, and thus would require for passage the approval of 2/3 of the membership of each house of the Legislature.The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.This bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy, but its operative date would depend on its effective date.The Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax Law imposes a tax on each gallon of motor vehicle fuel removed from a refinery or terminal rack in this state, entered or sold into this state and provides for the deposit of all moneys received under that law into a specified fund.This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to the provision related to that fund.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY2/3 Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: NOYES Local Program: NOYES Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.
