(1) The California Building Standards Law provides for the promulgation of building standards by state agencies by requiring all state agencies that adopt or propose adoption of any building standard to submit the building standard to the California Building Standards Commission for approval or adoption. Existing law requires that the commission receive proposed building standards from state agencies for consideration in an annual code adoption cycle. This bill would modify the code adoption cycle and extend it to 18 months. (2) Existing law requires the commission to publish, or cause to be published, editions of the code in its entirety every 3 years, and, in each intervening year, to publish supplements as necessary. The bill would require the commission to publish the supplements in the intervening period instead of each intervening year.

This bill would authorize the Franchise Tax Board, by regulation, to implement an alternative communication method that, at the request of a taxpayer or the taxpayer's authorized representative, would allow specified electronic communications between the Franchise Tax Board and the taxpayer. The bill would require the Franchise Tax Board to advise the taxpayer or the taxpayer's authorized representative of the ramifications of electing to receive notifications from the Franchise Tax Board in the manner selected and of failing to take appropriate action in response to those notifications prior to the use of the alternative communication method. The bill would repeal the provisions as of January 1, 2018. This bill would require the Franchise Tax Board to ensure procedural due process requirements are satisfied in the implementation of the alternative communication method.
Existing provisions of the California Constitution prohibit the Legislature from making any gift of public money or thing of value to any person, and this prohibition applies to local government.
