FROM: Phil Batchelor C ltra
County Administrator C sta
DATE: June 18, 1986 Co^
SUBJECT: Legislation: Assembly Bill 2939 (Kelley)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a position of support for AB 2939 by Assemblyman Kelley.
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.
