BACKGROUND: Under the existing personal income tax law, and the bank and corporation tax law, taxpayers can deduct the value of agricultural products which are donated for charitable purposes. This deduction expires January 1, 1987 . AB 2939 has been introduced by Assemblyman Kelley to extend the operation of this deduction indefinitely. This income tax deduction serves to encourage agricultural producers to donate food products to charitable groups, such as the Food Coalition. The Board received a letter from the California Grocers' Association requesting the Board' s support for AB 2939 . Since the passage of this legislation would serve to continue to encourage agricultural producers and grocery stores to continue donating agricultural products to groups such as the Food Coalition and other food banks, we believe it is appropriate for the Board to support its passage.
