This background information is provided by the League of California Cities:

The “Tax Fairness, Transparency and Accountability Act of 2018” (AG# 17-0050 Amdt. #1)1

, is

currently under circulation for signatures and may appear on the November 2018 ballot for the

voters’ consideration. This initiative would drastically limit local revenue authority, while making

comparatively minor modifications to state authority. For cities and other local agencies, it applies

retroactively and may void any local measure approved by local voters on or after January 1, 2018,

but prior to the effective date of this act, that does not comply with the provisions of the act.

This initiative is sponsored by the California Business Roundtable, an organization that claims

membership2 from<b> some of the state’s largest companies including, Wells Fargo, Albertsons, KB

Home, Blackstone Group, Chevron, Farmers Insurance, Granite Construction and others.</b>

One paragraph among the three pages declares that one of the purposes of the measure is to

overturn “loopholes” created by Cannabis Coalition v. City of Upland (concern that voters could

enact special taxes via initiative by majority vote); Chamber of Commerce v. Air Resources Board

(a recent case lost by the Chamber which alleged that the state Cap and Trade Program was an

illegal tax) and Schmeer v. Los Angeles (which held that a locally imposed-grocer retained bag fee

was not a tax).

This measure, however, has much broader impacts than such fixes</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">...</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Summary&nbsp;</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

provisions of the act, and:

Restricting Local Tax Authority:

a) Eliminates local authority to impose a tax for general purposes by majority vote and

instead requires all local proposed tax increases to be subject to a two-thirds vote. This

proposal also requires two-thirds approval of all members of the local legislative body

before a tax can be placed on the ballot.

b) Requires a two-thirds vote to “extend” a tax to new territory, a new class of payor, or

expanded base. For cities, this would limit all future annexations by requiring a separate

two-thirds vote of the affected residents prior to applying any existing city tax.&nbsp;</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Other

limitations may apply to a local interpretation that an existing local tax applies to a

business or product.

c) Expands the definition of a tax to include payments voluntarily made in exchange for a

benefit received, which may cover local franchise fees.

d) Prohibits any tax from being placed on the ballot unless it either specifically identifies by

binding and enforceable limitation how it can be spent, with any change requiring reapproval by the electorate, or states in a separate stand-alone segment of the ballot that

the tax revenue is intended for “unrestricted revenue purposes.”

e) Requires tax measures to be consolidated with the regularly scheduled general election for

members of the governing body, unless an emergency is declared by a unanimous vote of

the governing body.

f) Expands the application of this act to include actions and “legal authority” that may be

“enforced” or ‘”implemented” by a local government.

g) Requires a tax imposed by initiative also to be subject to a two-thirds vote, to address

concerns over the Upland decision.

h) Clarifies that a levy, charge, or exaction retained by and payable to a non-governmental

entity is a tax, if the local agency limits in any way the use of the proceeds, to address

concerns over the Schmeer decision.

i) Exempts existing school bond (55% vote) construction authority from the application of

the bill.

Restricting Local Fee Authority:

Restricts the ability of a local government to impose fees or charges, other than those subject to

Prop. 218, by:

a) Prohibiting a fee or charge from being imposed, increased or extended unless approved by

two-thirds vote of the legislative body.

b) Authorizing a referendum on decisions of a legislative body to impose, increase or extend

a fee or charge triggered by petitions signed by 5% of affected voters.

c) Requiring a fee or charge proposed by initiative to be subject to a two-thirds vote of the

electorate</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"></font></div><div><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;" libre="Libre" franklin="Franklin" helvetica="Helvetica" arial="Arial" sans-serif="sans-serif" font-size="font-size" px="px" background-color="background-color" rgb="rgb"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">California Business Roundtable</span>&nbsp;(CBRT), according to its website, is "a nonpartisan organization comprised of the senior executive leadership of the major employers throughout the state – with a combined workforce of more than half a million employees."

Philadelphia, San Francisco, Oakland, Calif., and the county that includes Chicago&nbsp; imposed their own such measures in 2016, followed by Seattle in 2017. The soda industry spent at least $38 million fighting the taxesin 2016, which were backed by public health advocates and the billionaires Laura and John Arnold and Michael R.
