	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 718, Roth. Capital investment incentive programs: corporation
tax credit: new advanced strategic aircraft program.
   (1) Existing law, until July 1, 2015, authorizes a county, city
and county, or city to establish a capital investment incentive
program, pursuant to which the county, city and county, or city is
authorized to pay a capital investment incentive amount, as defined,
that does not exceed the amount of property tax derived from that
portion of the assessed value of a qualified manufacturing facility
that exceeds $25,000,000, to a proponent of a qualified manufacturing
facility. Existing law defines a "proponent" as a party and requires
a party to meet certain requirements, including that the party will
be the fee owner of the qualified manufacturing facility upon the
completion of that facility, as provided.
   This bill would, until July 1, 2015, additionally authorize the
party to be the lessee or the occupant under a government-owned
contractor-operator enhanced use lease agreement of the qualified
manufacturing facility upon the completion of that facility.
   (2) Existing law, the Corporation Tax Law, for taxable years
beginning on or after January 1, 2015, and before January 1, 2030,
allows, with regard to the manufacture of a new advanced strategic
aircraft for the United States Air Force, a credit against the taxes
imposed under that law in an amount equal to 171/2% of qualified
wages, as defined, paid or incurred with respect to qualified
full-time employees, as multiplied by an annual full-time equivalent
ratio, by the qualified taxpayer, defined as a taxpayer that is a
major first-tier subcontractor with regard to the manufacture of that
aircraft.
   This bill would define a qualified taxpayer to also include a
prime contractor awarded a prime contract to manufacture a new
advanced strategic aircraft for the United States Air Force. The bill
would limit this credit by providing that the aggregate number of
total annual full-time equivalents, as defined, of all qualified
taxpayers may not exceed 1,100.
   This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.



THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 51298 of the Government Code, as amended by
Section 1 of Chapter 116 of the Statutes of 2014, is amended to read:

   51298.  It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this
chapter to provide local governments with opportunities to attract
large manufacturing facilities to invest in their communities and to
encourage industries, such as high technology, aerospace, automotive,
biotechnology, software, environmental sources, and others, to
locate and invest in those facilities in California.
   (a) Commencing in the 1998-99 fiscal year, the governing body of a
county, city and county, or city, may, by means of an ordinance or
resolution approved by a majority of its entire membership, elect to
establish a capital investment incentive program. In any county, city
and county, or city in which the governing body has so elected, the
county, city and county, or city shall, upon the approval by a
majority of the entire membership of its governing body of a written
request therefor, pay a capital investment incentive amount to the
proponent of a qualified manufacturing facility for up to 15
consecutive fiscal years. A request for the payment of capital
investment incentive amounts shall be filed by a proponent in writing
with the governing body of an electing county, city and county, or
city in the time and manner specified in procedures adopted by that
governing body. In the case in which the governing body of an
electing county, city and county, or city approves a request for the
payment of capital investment incentive amounts, both of the
following conditions shall apply:
   (1) The consecutive fiscal years during which a capital investment
incentive amount is to be paid shall commence with the first fiscal
year commencing after the date upon which the qualified manufacturing
facility is certified for occupancy or, if no certification is
issued, the first fiscal year commencing after the date upon which
the qualified manufacturing facility commences operation.
   (2) In accordance with paragraph (4) of subdivision (d), the
annual payment to a proponent of each capital investment incentive
amount shall be contingent upon the proponent's payment of a
community services fee.
   (b) For purposes of this section:
   (1) "Qualified manufacturing facility" means a proposed
manufacturing facility that meets all of the following criteria:
   (A) The proponent's initial investment in that facility, in real
and personal property, necessary for the full and normal operation of
that facility, made pursuant to the capital investment incentive
program, that comprises any portion of that facility or has its situs
at that facility, exceeds one hundred fifty million dollars
($150,000,000). Compliance with this subparagraph shall be certified
by the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development upon
the director's approval of a proponent's application for
certification of a qualified manufacturing facility. An application
for certification shall be submitted by a proponent to the Governor's
Office of Business and Economic Development in writing in the time
and manner as specified by the director.
   (B) The facility is to be located within the jurisdiction of the
electing county, city and county, or city to which the request is
made for payment of capital investment incentive amounts.
   (C) The facility is operated by any of the following:
   (i) A business described within Code 3359 or 3364 of the 2012
North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Manual

geothermal resources, including the proportional amount of a
geothermal electric generating plant that is integral to the recovery
process by providing electricity for it.
   (iii) A business engaged in the manufacturing of parts or
components related to the production of electricity using solar,
wind, biomass, hydropower, or geothermal resources on or after July
1, 2010.
   (D) The proponent is currently engaged in any of the following:
   (i) Commercial production.
   (ii) The perfection of the manufacturing process.
   (iii) The perfection of a product intended to be manufactured.
   (2) "Proponent" means a party or parties that meet all of the
following criteria:
   (A) The party is named in the application to the county, city and
county, or city within which the qualified manufacturing facility
would be located for a permit to construct a qualified manufacturing
facility.
   (B) The party will be the fee owner, lessee, or occupant under a
government-owned contractor operator enhanced use lease agreement of
the qualified manufacturing facility upon the completion of that
facility. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the party may enter
into a sale-leaseback transaction and nevertheless be considered the
proponent.
   (C) If a proponent that is receiving capital investment incentive
amounts subsequently leases the subject qualified manufacturing
facility to another party, the lease may provide for the payment to
that lessee of any portion of a capital investment incentive amount.
Any lessee receiving any portion of a capital investment incentive
amount shall also be considered a proponent for the purposes of
subdivision (d).
   (3) "Capital investment incentive amount" means, with respect to a
qualified manufacturing facility for a relevant fiscal year, an
amount up to or equal to the amount of ad valorem property tax
revenue allocated to the participating local agency, which excludes
the revenue transfers required by Sections 97.2 and 97.3 of the
Revenue and Taxation Code, from the taxation of that portion of the

million dollars ($25,000,000).
   (4) "Manufacturing" means the activity of converting or
conditioning property by changing the form, composition, quality, or

   (c) A city or special district may, upon the approval by a
majority of the entire membership of its governing body, pay to the
county, city and county, or city an amount equal to the amount of ad
valorem property tax revenue allocated to that city or special
district, but not the actual allocation, derived from the taxation of
that portion of the total assessed value of that real and personal
property described in subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) of
subdivision (b) that is in excess of twenty-five million dollars
($25,000,000).
   (d) A proponent whose request for the payment of capital
investment incentive amounts is approved by an electing county, city
and county, or city shall enter into a community services agreement
with that county, city and county, or city that includes, but is not
limited to, all of the following provisions:
   (1) A provision requiring that a community services fee be
remitted by the proponent to the county, city and county, or city, in
each fiscal year, in an amount that is equal to 25 percent of the
capital investment incentive amount calculated for that proponent for
that fiscal year, except that in no fiscal year shall the amount of
the community services fee exceed two million dollars ($2,000,000).
   (2) A provision specifying the dates in each relevant fiscal year
upon which payment of the community services fee is due and

determination of underpayments or overpayments of a community
services fee, for the appeal of determinations of any underpayment,

services fee amount, if the qualified manufacturing facility is
constructed in a manner materially different from the facility as
described in building permit application materials, or if the
facility is no longer operated as a qualified manufacturing facility
meeting the requirements of paragraph (1) of subdivision (b). If a
proponent becomes ineligible to receive a capital investment
incentive amount as a result of an agreement provision included
pursuant to this subparagraph, the running of the number of
consecutive fiscal years specified in an agreement made pursuant to
subdivision (a) is not tolled during the period in which the
proponent is ineligible.
   (5) A provision that sets forth a job creation plan with respect
to the relevant qualified manufacturing facility. The plan shall
specify the number of jobs to be created by that facility, and the
types of jobs and compensation ranges to be created thereby. The plan
shall also specify that for the entire term of the community
services agreement, both of the following shall apply:
   (A) All of the employees working at the qualified manufacturing
facility shall be covered by an employer-sponsored health benefits
plan, with the exception of any employee who was offered but declined
coverage due to other available group coverage.
   (B) The average weekly wage, exclusive of overtime, paid to all of
the employees working at the qualified manufacturing facility, who
are not management or supervisory employees, shall be not less than
the state average weekly wage.

services agreement, a provision that requires the recapture of any
portion of any capital investment incentive amounts previously paid
to the proponent equal to the lesser of the following:

less any capital investment incentive amounts previously recaptured.
   (B) If the proponent fails to operate the qualified manufacturing
facility as required by the community services agreement, the county,
city and county, or city may, upon a finding that good cause exists,
waive any portion of the recapture of any capital investment
incentive amount due under this subdivision. For the purpose of this
subdivision, good cause includes, but is not limited to, the

has entered into an agreement with the county, city and county, or
city to assume all of the responsibilities of the proponent under the

otherwise, not within the control of the qualified manufacturing
facility claiming good cause, which restrict or interfere with a
qualified manufacturing facility's ability to timely perform, and
which by the exercise of reasonable due diligence, such party is or
would have been unable to prevent or overcome.
   (C) For purposes of this subdivision, failure to operate a
qualified manufacturing facility as required by the community

credit remaining to be allocated is insufficient to be allocated
fully to each, the credit remaining shall be allocated to those
qualified taxpayers on a pro rata basis.

the "tax," the excess may be carried over to reduce the "tax" in the

reducing the amount of the bid by a good faith estimate of the amount
of the credit allowable under this section.

incorporated into any successful bid that was awarded a prime
contract or subcontract and for which a qualified taxpayer is making
a claim shall be made available to the Franchise Tax Board upon

any rule, guideline, or procedure prescribed by the Franchise Tax
Board pursuant to this section.
