Personal and corporation taxes: voluntary contribution: Help Our State Fund.

Abstract

The Personal Income Tax Law allows individual taxpayers to contribute amounts in excess of their tax liability for the support of specified funds. This bill would, until January 1, 2016, allow a taxpayer to designate on a tax return that a specified amount in excess of his or her tax liability be deposited into the General Fund. The California Constitution authorizes the Governor to declare a fiscal emergency and to call the Legislature into special session for that purpose. Governor Schwarzenegger issued a proclamation declaring a fiscal emergency, and calling a special session for this purpose, on December 6, 2010. Governor Brown issued a proclamation on January 20, 2011, declaring and reaffirming that a fiscal emergency exists and stating that his proclamation supersedes the earlier proclamation for purposes of that constitutional provision. This bill would state that it addresses the fiscal emergency declared and reaffirmed by the Governor by proclamation issued on January 20, 2011, pursuant to the California Constitution.
