  (B) (i) For a property casualty insurer, the ratio of the underwriting risk associated with a member of the commonly controlled group's insurance contracts to the insurance company's total underwriting risks for all insurance contracts. The underwriting risk is the underwriting risk reserves (losses plus expense risk-based capital after discount) as calculated using the "RBC Instructions."
  (ii) For a life insurer, the ratio of aggregate reserves for life, accident, and health contracts plus liability for deposit type contracts plus contract claims held for policies issued to members of the insurance company's commonly controlled group divided by total aggregate reserves for life, accident, and health contracts plus liability for deposit type contracts plus contract claims.

  (ii) For a life insurer, net written premiums received or accrued by the insurance company multiplied by the ratio of aggregate reserves for life, accident, and health contracts plus liability for deposit type contracts plus contract claims held for policies issued to members of the insurance company's commonly controlled group divided by total aggregate reserves for life, accident, and health contracts plus liability for deposit type contracts plus contract claims.

Net written premiums from financial guaranty insurance contracts shall be determined by multiplying the net written premiums received, assumed, or ceded by the lesser of 2.3 or an amount that would cause the ratio of the five-year average net written premiums for all financial guaranty insurance companies in the commonly controlled group to the five-year average total income for all financial guaranty insurance companies in the commonly controlled group to be equal to the applicable percentage.

  (4) In a case in which the legal form under which a trade or business activity is being conducted is changed, the change in form shall be disregarded and the determination of whether the trade or business activity is a new business shall be made by treating the taxpayer as having purchased or otherwise acquired all or any portion of the assets of an existing trade or business under the rules of paragraph (1).

  (4) A net operating loss carryover shall be a deduction only with respect to the taxpayer's business income attributable to the Los Angeles Revitalization Zone (as defined in Section 7102 of the Government Code) determined in accordance with subdivision (c).
  (5) If a loss carryover is allowable pursuant to this section for any taxable year after the Los Angeles Revitalization Zone designation has expired, the Los Angeles Revitalization Zone shall be deemed to remain in existence for purposes of computing the limitation set forth in paragraph (2) and allowing a net operating loss deduction.
  (6) Attributable income shall be that portion of the taxpayer's California source business income which is apportioned to the Los Angeles Revitalization Zone. For that purpose, the taxpayer's business income attributable to sources in this state first shall be determined in accordance with Chapter 17 (commencing with Section 25101). That business income shall be further apportioned to the Los Angeles Revitalization Zone in accordance with Article 2 (commencing with Section 25120) of Chapter 17, modified as follows:
  (A) Business income shall be apportioned to the Los Angeles Revitalization Zone by multiplying total California business income of the taxpayer by a fraction, the numerator of which is the property factor plus the payroll factor, and the denominator of which is 2.

  (c) A taxpayer who qualifies as a "qualified taxpayer" under one or more sections shall, for the taxable year of the net operating loss and any taxable year to which that net operating loss may be carried, designate on the original return filed for each year the section that applies to that taxpayer with respect to that net operating loss. If the taxpayer is eligible to qualify under more than one section, the designation is to be made after taking into account subdivision (d).
  (d) If a taxpayer is eligible to qualify under this section and either Section 24416.2, 24416.5, or 24416.6 as a "qualified taxpayer," with respect to a net operating loss in a taxable year, the taxpayer shall designate which section is to apply to the taxpayer.

  (2) For purposes of this subdivision:
  (A) "Net operating loss" means the loss determined under Section 172 of the Internal Revenue Code, as modified by Section 24416.1, attributable to the taxpayer's farming business activities affected by Pierce's disease and its vectors.

  (C) Attributable income is that portion of the taxpayer's California source farming business income that is apportioned to the area affected by Pierce's disease and its vectors. For that purpose, that taxpayer's farming business income attributable to sources in this state first shall be determined in accordance with Chapter 17 (commencing with Section 25101) of Part 11. That farming business income shall be further apportioned to the area affected by Pierce's disease and its vectors in accordance with Article 2 (commencing with Section 25120) of Chapter 17 of Part 11, modified for purposes of this subdivision as follows:
  (i) Farming business income shall be apportioned to the area affected by Pierce's disease and its vectors by multiplying the total California farming business income of the taxpayer by a fraction, the numerator of which is the property factor plus the payroll factor, and the denominator of which is two. For purposes of this paragraph:
  (I) The property factor is a fraction, the numerator of which is the average value of the taxpayer's real and tangible personal property owned or rented and used in the area affected by Pierce's disease and its vectors during the taxable year, and the denominator of which is the average value of all the taxpayer's real and tangible personal property owned or rented and used in this state during the taxable year.

  (ii) If a loss carryover is allowable pursuant to this section for any taxable year after Pierce's disease and its vectors occurred, the area affected by Pierce's disease and its vectors shall be deemed to remain in existence for purposes of computing the limitation set forth in subparagraph (B) and allowing a net operating loss deduction.
  (b) A taxpayer who qualifies as a "qualified taxpayer" under one or more sections shall, for the taxable year of the net operating loss and any taxable year to which that net operating loss may be carried, designate on the original return filed for each year the section that applies to that taxpayer with respect to that net operating loss. If the taxpayer is eligible to qualify under more than one section, the designation is to be made after taking into account subdivision (c).
  (c) If a taxpayer is eligible to compute its net operating loss under this section and either Section 24416.2, 24416.4, 24416.5, or 24416.6 as a "qualified taxpayer," with respect to a net operating loss in a taxable year, the taxpayer shall designate which section is to apply to the taxpayer.
  (d) Notwithstanding Section 24416, the amount of the loss determined under this section or Section 24416.2, 24416.4, 24416.5, or 24416.6 shall be the only net operating loss allowed to be carried over from that taxable year and the designation under subdivision (b) shall be included in the election under Section 24416.1.
  (e) (1) A qualified taxpayer may utilize the net operating loss carryover allowed by this section only if the Department of Food and Agriculture determines that Pierce's disease and its vectors caused the net operating loss for which the qualified taxpayer seeks a deduction under this section.
  (2) To make the determination required by this subdivision, the Department of Food and Agriculture shall utilize the definitions in Title 3 of the California Code of Regulations, relating to Pierce's disease and its vectors.
  (3) The Department of Food and Agriculture may prescribe regulations necessary to implement this subdivision.
  (f) This section applies to net operating losses attributable to taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2001, and before January 1, 2003.

(a) Notwithstanding Sections 24416, 24416.1, 24416.2, 24416.4, 24416.5, 24416.6, and 24416.7 of this code and Section 172 of the Internal Revenue Code, no net operating loss deduction shall be allowed for any taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2008, and before January 1, 2012.

  (2) By two years, for losses incurred in taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2009, and before January 1, 2010.
  (3) By three years, for losses incurred in taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2008, and before January 1, 2009.

  (c) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), a net operating loss deduction shall be allowed for carryback of a net operating loss attributable to a taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2013.
  (d) The disallowance of any net operating loss deduction for any taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2008, and before January 1, 2010, pursuant to subdivision (a) shall not apply to a taxpayer with income subject to tax under this part of less than five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) for the taxable year.
  (e) (1) The disallowance of any net operating loss deduction for any taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2010, and before January 1, 2012, pursuant to subdivision (a) shall not apply to a taxpayer with preapportioned income of less than three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) for the taxable year.

An amended tax return claiming net operating loss deductions allowed pursuant to this subdivision shall be treated as a timely filed original return.
  (g) The Legislature finds and declares that the addition of subdivision (f) to this section by the act adding this subdivision fulfills a statewide public purpose by providing necessary tax relief for a taxpayer that ceased to do business or has a final taxable year ending prior to August 28, 2008, that sold or transferred substantially all of its assets resulting in a gain or sale during a taxable year prior to August 28, 2008, for which the gain could be offset with existing net operating loss deductions and the sale or transfer occurred pursuant to a plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code, in order to ensure that these taxpayers are not permanently denied the net operating loss deduction.

Notwithstanding Section 24416.1, 24416.2, 24416.4, 24416.5, 24416.6, or 24416.7 to the contrary, a net operating loss attributable to a taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2008, shall be a net operating carryover to each of the 20 taxable years following the year of the loss, and a net operating loss attributable to a taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2013, shall also be a net operating loss carryback to each of the two taxable years preceding the taxable year of loss.
