INTRODUCED BY   Senator Berryhill

                        FEBRUARY 17, 2016

   An act to amend Section 218.5 of the Revenue and Taxation Code,
relating to taxation.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1118, as introduced, Berryhill. Property tax: homeowners'
exemption.
   Existing law requires county assessors to supply to the State
Board of Equalization information from homeowners' property tax
exemption claims and county records necessary to fully identify all
homeowners' property tax exemption claims allowed by the assessors.
   This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to those provisions.

   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 218.5 of the Revenue and Taxation Code is
amended to read:
   218.5.  In order to assure the accuracy of the state's
reimbursements for the homeowners' property tax exemption and to
prevent duplications of the exemptions within the state and improper
overlapping with other benefits provided by law, county assessors
shall supply information from homeowners' property tax exemption
claims and county records as is specified by written request of the
board, and with the concurrence of the Controller, necessary to fully
identify all homeowners' property tax exemption claims allowed by
the assessors. The board may specify that the information include all
or a part of the names and social security numbers of claimants and
spouses and the identity and location of the dwelling to which the
exemption applies. The information may be required in the form of
data processing media or other media and in  such format as
  a format that  is compatible with the
recordkeeping processes of the counties and the auditing procedures
of the state.
