Summary
Existing law allows an individual taxpayer to contribute amounts in excess of their personal income tax liability for the support of specified funds and accounts, including, among others, to the Native California Wildlife Rehabilitation Voluntary Tax Contribution Fund. This bill would allow, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2026, and before January 1, 2033, an individual to designate on their tax return that a specified amount in excess of their tax liability be transferred to the continuously appropriated Black Cultural District Voluntary Tax Contribution Fund (fund) , which would be created by this bill. The bill would allocate moneys in the fund to, among other entities, the Arts Council for allocation for the construction and maintenance of the Black Cultural District designated in south City of Los Angeles. The bill would require the Franchise Tax Board to revise the tax return form to include a space for the designation of contributions to the fund. By establishing a new continuously appropriated fund, the bill would make an appropriation. This bill would provide that these provisions would remain in effect only until January 1, 2034, but would further provide for an earlier repeal if the Franchise Tax Board determines that the amount of contributions estimated to be received by September 1, 2028, and later calendar years will not at least equal the minimum contribution amount, in which case these provisions would be repealed on January 1 of the following year.
