18705
. (a) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (2) of
subdivision (b), this article shall remain in effect only until
January 1 of the fifth taxable year following the first appearance of
the State Children's Trust Fund on the personal income tax return,
and is repealed as of December 1 of that year.
(b) (1) By September 1 of the second calendar year and each
subsequent calendar year that the State Children's Trust Fund appears
on the tax return, the Franchise Tax Board shall do all of the
following:
(A) Determine the minimum contribution amount required to be
received during the next calendar year for the fund to appear on the
tax return for the taxable year that includes that next calendar
year.
(B) Determine whether the amount of contributions estimated to be
received during the calendar year will equal or exceed the minimum
contribution amount determined by the Franchise Tax Board for the
calendar year pursuant to subparagraph (A). The Franchise Tax Board
shall estimate the amount of contributions to be received by using
the actual amounts received and an estimate of the contributions that
will be received by the end of that calendar year.
(2) If the Franchise Tax Board determines that the amount of the
contributions estimated to be received during a calendar year will
not at least equal the minimum contribution amount for the calendar
year, this article is inoperative with respect to taxable years
beginning on or after January 1 of that calendar year, and shall be
repealed on December 1 of that calendar year.
(3) For purposes of this section, the minimum contribution amount
for a calendar year means two hundred fifty thousand dollars
($250,000) for the second calendar year after the first appearance of
the State Children's Trust Fund on the personal income tax return or
the minimum contribution amount as adjusted pursuant to subdivision
(c).
(c) For each calendar year, beginning with the third calendar year
after the first appearance of the State Children's Trust Fund on the
personal income tax return, the Franchise Tax Board shall adjust, on
or before September 1 of that calendar year, the minimum
contribution amount specified in subdivision (b) as follows:
(1) The minimum contribution amount for the calendar year shall be
an amount equal to the product of the minimum contribution amount
for the prior calendar year multiplied by the inflation factor
adjustment as specified in subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2) of
subdivision (h) of Section 17041, rounded off to the nearest dollar.
(2) The inflation factor adjustment used for the calendar year
shall be based on the figures for the percentage change in the
California Consumer Price Index for all items received on or before
August 1 of the calendar year pursuant to paragraph (1) of
subdivision (h) of Section 17041.
(d) Notwithstanding the repeal of this article, any contribution
amounts designated pursuant to this article prior to its repeal shall
continue to be transferred and disbursed in accordance with this
article as in effect immediately prior to that repeal.
