<ns0:Title> An act to add Part 28 (commencing with Section 53000) to Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, relating to detention facilities, to take effect immediately, tax levy. </ns0:Title>

<ns0:Subject>Taxation: private detention facilities.</ns0:Subject>

<ns0:DigestText>
<html:p>Existing law imposes taxes upon income and real property, and taxes upon certain transactions and excise taxes. The Fee Collection Procedures Law provides procedures for the collection of certain fees and surcharges and is administered by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA). Under existing law, a violation of the Fee Collection Procedures Law is a crime. </html:p>
<html:p>This bill would, beginning January 1, 2027, establish the Private Detention Facility Tax Law, which would impose an annual tax on each private detention facility operator, as defined, equal to 50% of the operator’s gross receipts, as defined. The bill would establish the Due Process for All Fund in the State Treasury, would require all revenues collected, less refunds and reimbursement to the CDTFA, be deposited into the fund, and would direct
moneys in the fund, upon appropriation by the Legislature, be used for immigration-related services. The bill would require the CDTFA to administer and collect the tax pursuant to the Fee Collection Procedures Law. By expanding the application of the crimes associated with the Fee Collection Procedures Law, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. </html:p>
<html:p>
This bill would include a change in state statute that would result in a taxpayer paying a higher tax within the meaning of Section 3 of Article XIII

of the membership of each house of the Legislature.
</html:p>
<html:p>The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school
districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy.</html:p>
