	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Senator Runner

                        FEBRUARY 22, 2012

   An act to amend Section 11156 of the Revenue and Taxation Code,
relating to taxation.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1209, as introduced, Runner. Taxation: City and County of San
Francisco: vehicle license fee surcharge.
   Existing law authorizes the City and County of San Francisco, upon
meeting specified requirements, to impose a vehicle license fee
surcharge for the privilege of operating any vehicle upon the public
highways in the county, as provided. Existing law presumes, for
purposes of this law, that a person is operating a vehicle on the
public highways only in the county in which the person resides, and
requires the person to be subject to a vehicle license fee surcharge
only in that county.
   This bill would authorize the Department of Motor Vehicles, in
determining the place of residence of a person, to rely upon the
address reflected in its records for that person, unless it is
established to the satisfaction of the department that the place of
residence of that person is elsewhere.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 11156 of the Revenue and Taxation Code is
amended to read:
   11156.  A person shall, for the purposes provided for in Section
11154, be presumed to be operating a vehicle on the public highways
only in the county in which he or she resides, or, in the case of
other than a natural person, only in the county in which the vehicle
is principally garaged, and he or she shall be subject to a local
vehicle license fee surcharge only in that county.  In
determining the place of residence of a person, the department may
rely upon the address reflected in it   s records for that
person, unless the person or persons, a county, or a district
establishes to the satisfaction of the department that the place of
residence of that person is elsewhere.
