Bill > AB258

This bill amends the existing law regarding how revenues from sales and use taxes at fairgrounds are allocated by increasing the percentage of gross receipts transferred to the Fair and Exposition Fund from 3/4 of 1% to 2%. The bill requires the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) to continue segregating gross receipts from sales and use tax returns for sales occurring on fairground properties and report these amounts to the Department of Finance annually. The funds will be included in the Governor's Budget and transferred to the Fair and Exposition Fund, which is continuously appropriated for allocation to fairs. The bill also maintains existing provisions that require fairgrounds to provide specific working conditions for non-management employees to receive these funds, such as meal periods, overtime compensation, and premium wage rates. These conditions do not apply to full-time carnival ride operators employed by traveling carnivals, and employees covered by certain collective bargaining agreements may be exempt from these requirements.
