	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 89, as amended, Travis Allen.  Taxation.  
Sales and use taxes: exemptions: public schools.  
   Existing sales and use tax laws impose a tax on retailers measured
by the gross receipts from the sale of tangible personal property
sold at retail in this state, or 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.
Those laws provide various exemptions from those taxes.  
   This bill would, on and after January 1, 2016, and before January
1, 2021, exempt from those taxes the gross receipts from the sale in
this state of, and the storage, use, or other consumption in this
state of, any items purchased by a K-12 public school or a K-12
public school district for use by that school or district.  

   The Bradley-Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax Law authorizes
counties and cities to impose local sales and use taxes in conformity
with the Sales and Use Tax Law, and existing law authorizes
districts, as specified, to impose transactions and use taxes in
conformity with the Transactions and Use Tax Law, which conforms to
the Sales and Use Tax Law. Exemptions from state sales and use taxes
are incorporated into these laws.  
   This bill would specify that the above-described exemption does
not apply to local sales and use taxes, transactions and use taxes,
and specified state taxes from which revenues are deposited into the
Fiscal Recovery Fund, the Local Public Safety Fund, the Education
Protection Account, the Local Revenue Fund, and the Local Revenue
Fund 2011.  
   This bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy. 

   Existing law defines the term "board" to mean the State Board of
Equalization for purposes of the Revenue and Taxation Code. 

   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to that
law. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee:  no
  yes  . State-mandated local program: no.
