AB 14X -UTILITY USER'S TAX: GAS AND ELECTRICITY Comments: Existing law in the. State of California, allows local jurisdictions to impose a utility user's tax. The utility user's tax is based on the consumption of electricity, gas, water, sewer, telephone, and cable television services. The revenue from these taxes goes into the general fund of the local agency. AB 14X would require that every local jurisdiction that levies a utility user's tax base the tax for residential and small commercial customers on a per unit usage basis and not on the price per unit. In addition, the usage rate could not exceed the rate paid by consumers in~January 2000.

Hooper, City Clerk Memorandum DATE: May 15, 2001 TO: HONORABLE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE LYNWOOD PUBLIC FINANCE AUTHORITY FROM: Ralph W. Davis, III, Chief Administrative Officer BY: Autra C. Adams, Project Manager SUBJECT: AB 14X -Utility User's Tax: Gas and Electricity PURPOSE: To have the President 8~ Members of the Lynwood Public Finance Authority receive and file this item. BACKGROUND: Existing law in the -State of California, allows local jurisdictions to impose a utility user's tax. The utility user's tax is based on the consumption of electricity, gas, water, sewer, telephone, and cable television services. The revenue from these taxes goes into the general fund of the local agency. Utility companies levy the tax on behalf of the local jurisdiction on their regular utility bills and then send the revenues to the agency: Utility user taxes are currently collected on a cost based system which means that they are collected based on the dollar amount of a utility bill, not based on the total units of consumption. ANALYSIS: Utility prices are currently rapidly rising in the areas of electricity and natural gas. The legislature feels that local jurisdictions are reaping the windfall of higher .utility bills by collecting a higher amount of utility user tax revenues. AB 14X (Matthews) This legislation was introduced in an attempt to prevent cities and counties from being able to benefit by the increased costs to consumers of electricity and natural gas. AB 14 X would require that every local jurisdiction that levies a utility user's tax base the tax for residential and small commercial customers on a per unit usage basis and not on the price per unit. In addition, the usage rate could not exceed the rate paid by consumers in January 2000. Local jurisdictions are not really reaping any benefits of the increased electricity and natural gas rates because their rates are being increased just like the rates of consumers and businesses. The Assembly Local Government Committee will next hear AB 14X some time in May. RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully requests that the President & Members of the Lynwood Public Finance Authority receive and file this item.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 14 , as amended, -F~a•~-ire- Matthews . -~r~•} } e e~~•}•~~ 3e s . -i-~a~t~e~a~+-eke e~ ~ Utility .user's tax: gas and electricity Under existing law, various Ioca1 jurisdictions, as defined, are authorized to impose a utility user's tax. This bill would require any local utility user's tax, imposed on the consumption of gas or electricity, or both, to be imposed on a per unit of usage basis. The bill would make legislative findings and .declarations, and express the intent of the Legislature, in that regard. By revising the method that local agencies would be required to use to calculate existing taxes, the bill would impose a _ state-mandated local program. 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, including the creation of a State Mandates Claims Fund to pay the costs of mandates that do not exceed 51,000,000 statewide and other procedures for claims whose statewide costs exceed 51,000,000. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions. eat }'s•~'~~•-}a6~ Q%lli=ie==i r,i ,=rn le rr= _-__1Tvr ~~L~`. ~.-._.... ~e'ae1•~a~tie-~-p~a•~ t~ e•}~ ~ e r~ ~ e a g ~ e•e ~ e e~ } ire-,- = = ~ = ~ = _= =- = _ _~ = _ - _ _ .. - ~ . ~e ee~~}~ ~te~i~c:. ~~e} ~--}e ~ e} a €-~~- http://info.sen.ca.gov/pub/bill/asm/ab_0001-0050/abxl_14_bill_20010416_amended asm.html 5/9/01 ABX1 14 Assembly Bill,. 1st Extraordinary.Sessiori -AMENDED Page 2 of3 • -er:~ree~e=~~~e~ri~s=#~e ~~,~~tt•~~}e ee=*e*-e~eee~nae~~e i -n~+l t Pm Anr+n~ t r-, n x -i.n 1 Lei -- - ertr;-ia-rt-~r~-~e•spe e~-~ e -Vote: -~- majority Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: -ire- yes . THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Section 7284.5 is added to the Revenue and Taxation Code, to read: 7284:5. (a) (1) The Legislature finds and declares that basing the amount of a utility user's tax on the usage of gas and electricity will reduce the potential for excessive tax increases, and will provide an incentive to reduce consumption. The Legislature further finds and declares that the regulation of the utility user's tax on gas and electricity is a matter of statewide concern because of the rising costs of providing energy to California's consumers. (2) It is the intent of the Legislature that local jurisdictions that impose utility user's tax on gas and electricity not collect - windfall profits as a result of increased energy costs, but instead stabilize tax rates for ratepayers of gas and electrical services - without reduction of revenues to the local jurisdictions. It is the further intent of the Legislature that the effective rate of the tax paid on a per unit of usage basis as a result of this section be no greater than the effective rate paid by consumers in January 1, 2000. (b) Every local jurisdiction, as defined in subdivision (c), that levies a utility user's tax on gas or,electricity, or both, shall base. its utility user's tax rate on a per unit of usage basis, and not upon the price per unit of usage. The per unit of usage rate established by the local jurisdiction under this section may not exceed the effective per unit of usage tax rate paid by taxpayers in January 2000. (c) .For purposes of this _section, "local jurisdiction" means any city, county, city and county, including any chartered city or city .and county, district, or public or municipal .corpora ti on. SEC. 2. Notwithstanding Section 17610 of the Government Code, if the. Commission on State Mandates determines that this act contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement to local agencies and school districts for those costs shall be made pursuant to Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) of Division 4 of Title 2 of the Government Code. If the statewide cost of the claim for reimbursement does i~ot exceed one million dollars (51,000,000), reimbursement shall be made from the State Mandates Claims Fund.
