50026.5
. (a) The legislative body of any local agency, chartered or
general law, which is otherwise authorized by law or charter to
impose any tax, shall not impose any tax, fee, or charge on or
measured by the sale of any stocks, bonds, or any other securities.
(b) It is the intent of the Legislature to prohibit any imposition
of any local tax, fee, or charge, in connection with the sale of
those securities, whether that imposition is imposed on the
transaction itself, on the privilege of engaging in any transaction,
or in any other form.
(c) The Legislature finds and declares that the need for uniform
statewide regulation and taxation of securities transactions is a
matter of statewide concern, and it is the Legislature's intent to
regulate the subject matter of securities comprehensively and to
occupy the field to the exclusion of local action.
