apply, except as otherwise provided.
Section 1031(i) of the Internal Revenue Code, relating to
special rules for mutual ditch, reservoir, or irrigation company
stock, shall not apply.
(a) No gain or loss shall be recognized to a corporation on
the receipt of money or other property in exchange for stock
(including treasury stock) of that corporation. No gain or loss shall
be recognized by a corporation with respect to any lapse or
acquisition of an option, or with respect to a securities futures
contract (as defined in Section 1234B of the Internal Revenue Code,
to buy or sell its stock (including treasury stock).
(b) For basis of property acquired by a corporation in certain

imminence thereof) is compulsorily or involuntarily converted--
(a) Into property similar or related in service or use to the
property so converted, no gain shall be recognized.
(b) Into money, and the disposition of the converted property
occurred before January 1, 1953, no gain shall be recognized if such

Franchise Tax Board, expended in the acquisition of other property
similar or related in service or use to the property so converted, or
in the acquisition of control of a corporation owning such other
property, or in the establishment of a replacement fund. If any part
of the money is not so expended, the gain shall be recognized to the
extent of the money which is not so expended (regardless of whether
such money is received in one or more taxable years and regardless of
whether or not the money which is not so expended constitutes gain).
For purposes of this subsection and Section 24944, the term
"disposition of the converted property" means the destruction, theft,
seizure, requisition, or condemnation of the converted property, or
the sale or exchange of such property under threat or imminence of
requisition or condemnation.
For purposes of this section and Section 24944, the term "control"
means the ownership of stock possessing at least 80 percent of the

part, theft, seizure, or requisition or condemnation or threat or
imminence thereof) is compulsorily or involuntarily converted into
money or into property not similar or related in service or use to
the converted property, and the disposition of the converted property
(as defined in subdivision (b) of Section 24943) occurred after
December 31, 1952, the gain (if any) shall be recognized except to
the extent hereinafter provided in this section:
(a) If the taxpayer during the period specified in subdivision
(b), for the purpose of replacing the property so converted,
purchases other property similar or related in service or use to the
property so converted, or purchases stock in the acquisition of
control of a corporation owning such other property, at the election
of the taxpayer the gain shall be recognized only to the extent that
the amount realized upon such conversion (regardless of whether such
amount is received in one or more taxable years) exceeds the cost of
such other property or such stock. Such election shall be made at
such time and in such manner as the Franchise Tax Board may by
regulations prescribe. For purposes of this subdivision--
(1) No property or stock acquired before the disposition of the
converted property shall be considered to have been acquired for the
purpose of replacing such converted property unless held by the
taxpayer on the date of such disposition; and
(2) The taxpayer shall be considered to have purchased property or
stock only if, but for the provisions of Section 24947, the
unadjusted basis of such property or stock would be its cost within
the meaning of Section 24912.
(b) The period referred to in subdivision (a) shall be the period
beginning with the date of the disposition of the converted property,
or the earliest date of the threat or imminence of requisition or

any part of the gain upon the conversion is realized; or
(2) Subject to such terms and conditions as may be specified by
the Franchise Tax Board, at the close of such later date as the
Franchise Tax Board may designate on application by the taxpayer.
Such application shall be made at such time and in such manner as the
Franchise Tax Board may by regulations prescribe.
(c) For purposes of this section and Section 24943, replacement
property "similar or related in service or use" shall include, in the
case of a nonprofit water utility corporation, personal property
used for the transmission or storage of water.
If a taxpayer has made the election provided in Section
24944(a), then--
(a) The statutory period for the assessment of any deficiency, for
any taxable year in which any part of the gain on such conversion is
realized, attributable to such gain shall not expire prior to the
expiration of four years from the date the Franchise Tax Board is
notified by the taxpayer (in such manner as the Franchise Tax Board
may by regulations prescribe) of the replacement of the converted
property or of an intention not to replace; and
(b) Such deficiency may be assessed before the expiration of such
four-year period notwithstanding the provisions of any other law or
rule of law which would otherwise prevent such assessment.
If the election provided in Section 24944(a) is made by the
taxpayer and such other property or such stock was purchased before
the beginning of the last taxable year in which any part of the gain
upon such conversion is realized, any deficiency, to the extent
resulting from such election, for any taxable year ending before such
last taxable year may be assessed (notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 19057 or the provisions of any other law or rule of law
which would otherwise prevent such assessment) at any time before the
expiration of the period within which a deficiency for such last
taxable year may be assessed.

For purposes of this part, if property lying within an
irrigation project is sold or otherwise disposed of in order to
conform to the acreage limitation provisions of federal reclamation
laws, such sale or disposition shall be treated as an involuntary
conversion to which Sections 24943 to 24949, inclusive, apply.
For purposes of this part, if livestock are destroyed by or

livestock (other than poultry) held by a taxpayer for draft,

for investment is (as a result of its seizure, requisition, or
condemnation, or threat or imminence thereof) compulsorily or
involuntarily converted, property of a like kind to be held either
for productive use in trade or business or for investment shall be
treated as property similar or related in service or use to the
property so converted.

in the acquisition of control of a corporation described in
subdivision (a) of Section 24944.

purchased as replacement property for a compulsorily or
involuntarily converted outdoor advertising display defined in

For purposes of Sections 24943 through 24946, if, because
of drought, flood, other weather-related conditions, or soil
contamination or other environmental contamination, it is not
feasible for the taxpayer to reinvest the proceeds from compulsorily
or involuntarily converted livestock in property similar or related
in use to the livestock so converted, other property (including real
property in the case of soil contamination or other environmental
