Existing law allows individuals, until January 1, 2018, to designate on their personal income tax return that a specified amount in excess of their tax liability be contributed to the California Breast Cancer Research Fund, which is subject to appropriation by the Legislature, to be allocated to the Franchise Tax Board, the Controller, and the University of California for purposes of carrying out these provisions. Existing law also allows individuals, until January 1, 2018, to designate on their tax returns that a specified amount in excess of their tax liability be contributed to the California Cancer Research Fund, which is subject to appropriation by the Legislature, to be allocated to the Franchise Tax Board, the Controller, and the University of California for purposes of carrying out these provisions. Existing law requires that each of these funds equal or exceed a minimum contribution amount, which initially was $250,000 and which was required to be and has been adjusted for inflation. Existing law provides that when extending the operation of these voluntary tax contribution funds the words "voluntary tax contribution" be included in the name of the fund, that the administering agency comply with specified Internet Web site reporting requirements, that the fund provisions remain in effect only until January 1 of the 7th calendar year following the first appearance of the voluntary tax contribution on the personal income tax return, that the required calendar year minimum contribution amount for the fund to continue appearing on the return is $250,000, and that the contributions be continuously appropriated from the fund to the administering entity. This bill would extend the operation of each fund's provisions to January 1, 2025, and would conform to the above provisions by renaming the funds as the California Breast Cancer Research Voluntary Tax Contribution Fund and the California Cancer Research Voluntary Tax Contribution Fund, respectively, by continuously appropriating those funds to the Franchise Tax Board, the Controller, and the University of California for purposes of carrying out each fund's provisions, and by requiring each fund to equal or exceed an unadjusted $250,000 minimum contribution amount to continue appearing on the return. By continuously appropriating these funds, the bill would make an appropriation. The bill would also provide that the Legislature requests the University of California and the Regents of the University of California, respectively, to post on their Internet Web sites the process for awarding money, the amount of money spent on administration, and an itemization of how program funds were awarded, including, but not limited to, information regarding recipients of funds.
