Background

This is the ranked choice vote for the GPCA to take a position Proposition 39: Tax Treatment for Multistate Businesses. Clean Energy And Energy Efficiency Funding. Initiative Statute.

The choices are to rank 'endorse', 'oppose', 'no position' and/or 'abstain'. Delegates can rank as many (or as few) of these options in their order of preference.

An 'endorse' vote would mean the GPCA would endorse Proposition 39. An 'oppose' vote means the GPCA would oppose Proposition 39. A 'no position' vote means the GPCA would not take a position on Proposition 39. An 'abstain' vote means the voter is not expressing a preference, but is voting to help achieve quorum. Any of these position that receives 2/3 after all preferences are transferred is the position of the party. If neither 'endorse' nor 'opposes' receive 2/3, the GPCA's position will be 'no position'.

Ballot Title and Summary: Tax Treatment for Multistate Businesses. Clean Energy And Energy Efficiency Funding. Initiative Statute.

http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/vig-public-display/110612-general-election/prop-39/prop-39-title-summary.pdf

"Requires multistate businesses to calculate their California income tax liability based on the percentage of their sales in California. Repeals existing law giving multistate businesses an option to choose a tax liability formula that provides favorable tax treatment for businesses with property and payroll outside California. Dedicates $550 million annually for five years from anticipated increase in revenue for the purpose of funding projects that create energy efficiency and clean energy jobs in California."

Summary of Legislative Analyst's Estimate of Net State and Local Government Fiscal Impact

"Approximately $1 billion in additional annual state revenues -- growing over time - from eliminating the ability of multistate businesses to choose how their California taxable income is determined. This would result in some multistate businesses paying more state taxes. Of the revenue raised by this measure over the next five years, about half would be dedicated to energy efficiency and alternative energy projects. Of the remaining revenues, a significant portion likely would be spent on public schools and community colleges."

Yes/No Statement

"A YES vote on this measure means: Multistate businesses would no longer be able to choose the method for determining their state taxable income that is most advantageous for them. Some multistate businesses would have to pay more corporate income taxes due to this change. About half of this increased tax revenue over the next five years would be used to support energy efficiency and alternative energy projects."

"A NO vote on this measure means: Most multistate businesses would continue to be able to choose one of two methods to determine their California taxable income."
