Wildfire and Vegetation Management Voluntary Tax Contribution Fund.
Summary
Existing law allows an individual taxpayer to contribute amounts in excess of their personal income tax liability for the support of specified funds and accounts, including, among others, to the Native California Wildlife Rehabilitation Voluntary Tax Contribution Fund. This bill would also allow an individual to designate on their tax return that a specified amount in excess of their tax liability be transferred to the continuously appropriated Wildfire and Vegetation Management Voluntary Tax Contribution Fund, which would be created by this bill. The bill would require the Franchise Tax Board to revise the tax return form to include a space for the designation of contributions to the fund when another voluntary designation is removed from the form or there is space, whichever occurs first. By establishing a new continuously appropriated fund, this bill would make an appropriation.

MINOR
No substantive policy changes were made between these two versions. The difference is entirely presentational: the first version uses the traditional printed bill format with line numbers and page headers, while the second version is the web-based rendering from the California Legislature website, which adds navigation elements and removes line numbering.
TECHNICAL
The bill text was reformatted from a printed legislative document (with line numbers, page headers/footers) to a web-based layout that includes site navigation elements such as search boxes, links to bill information, votes, history, and analysis pages. The actual statutory language in Sections 18710 through 18713 is unchanged.
