AI Summary

This bill allows individuals to designate a voluntary contribution to the Rape Kit Backlog Voluntary Tax Contribution Fund on their personal income tax returns. The funds in this new account will be continuously appropriated to the Franchise Tax Board, the Controller, and the Department of Justice (DOJ) to cover administrative costs, with any remaining funds transferred to the DOJ to distribute grants to local agencies for processing eligible untested rape kits in California. The bill includes provisions to ensure the funds supplement, not replace, existing funding for rape kit testing. The voluntary tax contribution fund will be repealed if the minimum contribution of $250,000 per year is not met, and the DOJ is required to post information about the fund on its website.
