          *********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
             The following information is revised to reflect amendments 
                     adopted by the committee on August 11, 2016






          Bill  
          Summary:  AB 587 would establish a three-year tax and penalty  
          abatement program for owners of mobilehomes who are unable to  
          properly register their ownership interest with the Department  
          of Housing and Community Development (HCD) because of past due  
          taxes and fees, as specified.


          Fiscal  
          Impact:  
           HCD administrative costs of approximately $360,000 annually  
            for three years to process an estimated 10,000 titling and

            registration applications each year for the duration of the  
            program.  These costs would likely be offset by application  
            fee revenues.  (Mobilehome-Manufactured Home Revolving Fund)

           Unknown, potentially significant, foregone state revenues a  
            result of the requirement that HCD waive specified past due  
            charges, fees, and penalties if an applicant meets specified  
            requirements.  This impact would be partially mitigated to the  
            extent a portion of these revenues would have otherwise  
            remained uncollected in the absence of the abatement program.   
            (General Fund, various mobilehome-related special funds)   
            -----see staff comments-----

           Unknown significant foregone property tax revenues as a result  
            of the specified limit on the amount of delinquent taxes that  
            an applicant would pay to the county tax collector in exchange  
            for a tax clearance or liability certificate.  This impact  
            would be partially mitigated to the extent a portion of these  
            revenues would have otherwise remained uncollected in the  
            absence of the abatement program.  Staff notes that any  
            impacts to the K-14 school share of the property tax revenues  
            are generally backfilled by the State General Fund.  (General  
            Fund, local funds)  
          -----see staff comments in analysis from August 1 hearing-----

           Unknown foregone local revenues as a result of the requirement  
            that county tax collectors waive all property tax penalties  
            and interest that would otherwise be owed by eligible  
            participants in the abatement program. (local funds)

           Unknown reimbursable state-mandated local costs for county tax  
            collectors to establish administrative procedures and issue  
            tax clearance or liability certificates to eligible  
            participants in the abatement program.  (General Fund)




          Author  
          Amendments:  Make several technical changes and remove the  
          reference to the California Association of County Treasurers and  
          Tax Collectors website.
