	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 39, Johannessen.  Income taxes:  designations:  California
Military Museum:  D.A.R.E. California.
   The Personal Income Tax Law authorizes taxpayers to designate on
their tax returns that a specified amount in excess of their tax
liability be contributed to the California Military Museum Fund or
the D.A.R.E. California (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) Fund.
Existing law requires the Franchise Tax Board to determine annually
the total amount that is so designated by taxpayers and to notify the
Controller of the amounts to be transferred by the Controller from
the Personal Income Tax Fund to the Franchise Tax Board and the
Controller for the reimbursement of related costs and to the
California Military Museum Fund or the D.A.R.E. California (Drug
Abuse Resistance Education) Fund.  Existing law conditions the
expenditure of the moneys in the California Military Museum Fund and
in the D.A.R.E. California (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) Fund for
the support of the museum and that program, respectively, upon the
appropriation of those moneys by the Legislature.
   This bill would appropriate moneys in the California Military
Museum Fund to the Franchise Tax Board and the Controller for
reimbursement of their related costs, not otherwise funded in the
Budget Act, and for the support of the museum.  The bill would also
appropriate $135,000 from  the D.A.R.E. California (Drug Abuse
Resistance Education) Fund to the Controller for allocation to
D.A.R.E. California for the support of that program.
  This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an
urgency statute.
   Appropriation:  yes.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 18843 of the Revenue and Taxation Code is
amended to read:
   18843.  All money transferred to the California Military Museum
Fund is hereby appropriated for allocation as follows:
   (a) To the Franchise Tax Board and the Controller for
reimbursement of all costs incurred by the Franchise Tax Board and
the Controller in connection with their duties under this article not
otherwise funded in the Budget Act.
   (b) To the California Military Museum for the operation of the
museum as provided by Section 179 of the Military and Veterans Code.

  SEC. 2.  There is hereby appropriated the sum of one hundred
thirty-five thousand dollars ($135,000) from the D.A.R.E. California
(Drug Abuse Resistance Education) Fund to the Controller for
allocation to D.A.R.E.  California to assist in establishing and
maintaining drug abuse resistance education programs in California
schools.
  SEC. 3.  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:
   In order that the Controller may transfer money that is collected
by the Franchise Tax Board and deposited in the D.A.R.E. California
(Drug Abuse Resistance Education) Fund to D.A.R.E. California and may
transfer money that is collected by the Franchise Tax Board and
deposited in the California Military Museum Fund to the California
Military Museum at the earliest possible time, it is necessary that
this bill take effect immediately.
