SENATE BILL 715 (SENATE COMMITTEE ON REVENUE AND TAXATION – 1996)

CHAPTER 952, STATUTES OF 1996, SB 715

Some bill research does not include the Governor's file because at the time we researched the bill, the sitting Governor had not released his chaptered bill file. If the Governor's file is not included with this particular research, please contact our office (1-530-666-1917 or quote@legintent.com) and we will be happy to provide this file at no charge if it is available. Please Note: Governor files did not exist prior to 1943.

As enacted, Senate Bill 715 amended section 1060.5 of the Code of Civil Procedure and amended, added, and repealed numerous sections of Revenue and Taxation Code.  (See Exhibit A, #1g) Senate Bill 715 was introduced by the Senate Committee on Revenue and Taxation on February 22, 1995.  (See Exhibit A, #1a)

Senate Bill 715 was assigned to the Senate Committee on Revenue and Taxation and the Assembly Committee on Revenue and Taxation where policy issues raised by the bill were considered.  (See Exhibit A, #3 and #7)  The fiscal ramifications of the bill were considered by the Senate Committee on Appropriations and the Assembly Committee on Appropriations.  (See Exhibit A, #2 and #8)  Five amendments were made to Senate Bill 715 during the legislative process.  (See Exhibit A, #1b through #1f and #2)  Subsequent to legislative approval, Governor Pete Wilson signed Senate Bill 715 on September 26, 1996, and it was recorded by the Secretary of State on September 26, 1996, as Chapter 952 of the Statutes of 1996.  (See Exhibit A, #1g and #2)

Senator Killea in her letter to Governor Wilson describes Senate Bill 715 as the “annual housekeeping measure sponsored by the Franchise Tax Board.”  (See Exhibit A, #4, document SP-14)  She then goes on to say:

It contains a number of technical provisions designed to improve the administration of the Personal Income Tax and Bank and Corporation Tax.  None of these provisions is controversial.  The bill passed both houses of the Legislature without a “no” vote.
