The Personal Income Tax Law and the Corporation Tax Law authorize various credits against the taxes imposed by those laws, including a hiring credit for qualified taxpayers who hire qualified employees, as defined, within enterprise zones and local agency military base recovery areas, subject to specified criteria and requirements. Those laws require that a taxpayer obtain a certification from the Employment Development Department, as permitted by federal law, the local county or city Job Training Partnership Act administrative entity, the local county GAIN office or social services agency, or the local government administering a specified area or zone that provides that a qualified employee meets the specified eligibility requirements. Existing law authorizes any local entity formerly authorized to issue a certification that provides that a qualified employee, qualified disadvantaged individual, or qualified displaced employee meets specified eligibility requirements, to continue to accept applications for certification and to issue the certifications up to but no later than January 1, 2015.

This bill would instead provide for those local entities to continue to accept applications for the certification up to but no later than January 1, 2015, and would remove the provision that local entities issue the certifications up to but no later than January 1, 2015.

The Use Fuel Tax Law imposes a tax, at specified rates, on the use of specified fuels, including natural gas, liquified petroleum gas, and ethanol or methanol on the highways of the state. The term “fuel” is defined for purposes of that law.

This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that definition.
