	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 50, as amended, Nava. Disaster relief.
   (1) Under the California Disaster Assistance Act the state share
may be up to 100% for costs connected with certain events only if the
local agency has adopted a local hazard mitigation plan in
accordance with specified federal law.
   Existing law, the Planning and Zoning Law, requires that a city,
county, or city and county general plan contain a safety element for
the protection of the community from specified safety risks, and
authorizes a city, county, or a city and county to adopt with its
safety element a federally specified local hazard mitigation plan
that includes specified elements.
   This bill would eliminate the requirement that adoption of the
federally specified local hazard mitigation plan include required
specified elements.
   (2) Existing law authorizes a county board of supervisors to
provide by ordinance for the reassessment of property that is damaged
or destroyed, without fault on the part of the assessee, by a major
misfortune or calamity, upon the application of the assessee or upon
the action of the county assessor with the board's approval. With
respect to certain counties that have adopted reassessment ordinances
and have been declared by the Governor to be in a state of emergency
as a result of certain events, existing law provides for state
allocations of the estimated amounts of the reductions in property
tax revenues resulting in certain fiscal years from reassessments
under those ordinances. Existing law also continuously appropriates,
without regard to fiscal years, moneys in the Special Fund for
Economic Uncertainties for purposes of funding these state
allocations.
   This bill would provide for similar state allocations with respect
to property tax revenue reductions resulting from a reassessment for
damages incurred within the County of Santa Barbara, which was
declared by the Governor to be in a state of emergency due to the
wildfires that commenced in November 2008 or May 2009,  and
 within the Counties of Orange, Riverside, and San
Bernardino, which were declared by the Governor to be in a state of
emergency due to the wildfires that commenced in November 2008  ,
and within the County of Placer, which was declared by the Governor
to be in a state of emergency due to the wildfires that commenced in
August 2009  .
   By requiring moneys continuously appropriated from the Special
Fund for Economic Uncertainties to be allocated for the new purpose
of reimbursing these counties for these property tax revenue
reductions, this bill would make an appropriation.
   (3) Existing property tax law provides, pursuant to a specified
provision of the California Constitution, for a homeowners' property
tax exemption in the amount of $7,000 of the full value of a
"dwelling," as defined.
   This bill would also provide that any dwelling that qualified for
the exemption prior to  the commencement dates of the
wildfires listed in the Governor's disaster proclamations of November
14, 2008, and May 7, 2009, that was damaged or destroyed by the
wildfires in the County of Santa Barbara, as declared by the Governor
in November 2008 or May 2009, and prior to the commencement dates of
the wildfires listed in the Governor's disaster proclamations of
November 15, 2008, and November 17, 2008, that was damaged or
destroyed by the wildfires in the Counties of Orange, Riverside, and
San Bernardino, as declared by the Governor in November 2008, and
that has not changed ownership since the commencement dates of these
disasters as listed in the proclamations,   August 30,
2009, that was damaged or destroyed by the wildfires in the County of
Placer, as declared by the Governor in August 2009, and that has not
changed ownership since August 30, 2009,  may not be denied the
exemption solely on the basis that the dwelling was temporarily
damaged or destroyed or was being reconstructed by the owner, or was
temporarily uninhabited as a result of restricted access to the
property due to wildfires.
   The California Constitution requires the Legislature, in each
fiscal year, to reimburse local governments for the revenue losses
incurred by those governments in that fiscal year as a result of the
homeowners' property tax exemption.
   This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to make this
required reimbursement in the annual Budget Act. By requiring local
tax officials to implement new exemption criteria, this bill would
impose a state-mandated local program.
   The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
   This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates
determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state,
reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these
statutory provisions.
   (4) The Personal Income Tax Law and the Corporation Tax Law
provide for the carryover to specified taxable years of specified
losses sustained as a result of certain disasters occurring in
California in an area determined by the President of the United
States to warrant specified federal assistance, or proclaimed by the
Governor to be in a state of emergency.
   This bill would extend these provisions to losses sustained in the
 County of Santa Barbara as a result of the wildfires that
commenced in November 2008 or May 2009, and in the Counties of
Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino as a result of the wildfires
that commenced in November 2008   County of Placer as a
result of the wildfires that commenced in August 2009  . This
bill would authorize a taxpayer to make an election to claim a
deduction for those losses on the tax return for the preceding year.
   (5) Existing law requires the auditor of a county which was the
subject of the Governor's proclamation of a state of emergency to
certify to the Director of Finance an estimate of the total reduction
in property tax revenues resulting from the reassessment by the
county assessor of those properties that are eligible as a result of
disasters, and requires the director to verify the county auditor's
estimate and certify that amount to the Controller for allocation to
the county.
   This bill would prohibit, for any fire disaster occurring after
January 1, 2010, the Department of Finance to certify a county
auditor's estimate of the total reduction in property tax resulting
from the reassessment by the county assessor of eligible properties
as a result of those disasters unless the county demonstrates
compliance with specified requirements at the time the fire disaster
occurred. 
   (6) This bill would incorporate additional changes in Sections
218, 17207, and 24347.5 of the Revenue and Taxation Code proposed by
AB 15, to be operative only if AB 15 and this bill are both enacted
and become effective on or before January 1, 2010, both bills amend
those sections, this bill is enacted after AB 15, and both AB 666 and
SB 505 are enacted.  
   (7) This bill would become operative only if both AB 666 and SB
505 of the 2009-10 Regular Session of the Legislature are enacted in
2009, and the operative date would depend on the enactment date of
those bills.  
   (8) 
    (6)  This bill would declare that it is to take effect
immediately as an urgency statute.
   Vote: 2/3. Appropriation: yes. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.
