   This bill would authorize the board of supervisors of any county
or city and county, by ordinance or resolution, to propose to the
voters a tax, including, but not limited to, a local personal income
tax, a local corporate income tax, and a local sales and use tax.
   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.  Chapter 3.8 (commencing with Section 7295) is added to
Part 1.7 of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, to read:
      CHAPTER 3.8.  GENERAL AUTHORIZATION


   7295.  Notwithstanding any other law, but subject to the
limitations of the California Constitution, the board of supervisors
of any county or city and county may, by ordinance or resolution
approved by the board in compliance with statutory requirements for
submitting a tax to the voters, place on the ballot a tax, including,
but not limited to, a local personal income tax, a local corporate
income tax, and a local sales and use tax, for consideration by the
voters.
