About this statute

This section defines key terms used in the CalSavers retirement savings title. This section creates the CalSavers Retirement Savings Board and sets rules for how the board, program administrator, and staff must operate. This section creates the CalSavers Retirement Savings Trust, assigns the board to administer it, requires the board to split trust money into a program fund and an administrative fund, and gives the Treasurer and the board investment-related powers. It also caps administrative fund spending at 1% of the total program fund after six years from implementation and exempts certain securities from specified Corporations Code sections. The CalSavers Retirement Savings Program must include one or more payroll deduction IRA arrangements, as determined by the board. The board has broad authority over the trust, including contracts, investments, staff, insurance, cooperation, and rulemaking.

The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (a) Beginning in 1929, government authorities and certain private sector entities in California and throughout the United States undertook an aggressive program to forcibly remove persons of Mexican ancestry from the United States. (b) In California alone, approximately 400,000 American citizens and legal residents of Mexican ancestry were forced to go to Mexico. (c) In total, it is estimated that two million people of Mexican ancestry were forcibly relocated to Mexico, approximately 1.2 million of whom had been born in the United States, including the State of California. (d) Throughout California, massive raids were conducted on Mexican-American communities, resulting in the clandestine removal of thousands of people, many of whom were never able to return to the United States, their country of birth. (e) These raids also had the effect of coercing thousands of people to leave the country in the face of threats and acts of violence. (f) These raids targeted persons of Mexican ancestry, with authorities and others indiscriminately characterizing these persons as “illegal aliens” even when they were United States citizens or permanent legal residents. (g) Authorities in California and other states instituted programs to wrongfully remove persons of Mexican ancestry and secure transportation arrangements with railroads, automobiles, ships, and airlines to effectuate the wholesale removal of persons out of the United States to Mexico. (h) As a result of these illegal activities, families were forced to abandon, or were defrauded of, personal and real property, which often was sold by local authorities as “payment” for the transportation expenses incurred in their removal from the United States to Mexico. (i) As a further result of these illegal activities, United States citizens and legal residents were separated from their families and country and were deprived of their livelihood and United States constitutional rights. (j) As a further result of these illegal activities, United States citizens were deprived of the right to participate in the political process guaranteed to all citizens, thereby resulting in the tragic denial of due process and equal protection of the laws.

The Legislature hereby finds and declares all of the following: (a) The Tax Reform Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-514) establishes a volume ceiling on the aggregate amount of private activity bonds that can be issued in each state. The volume ceiling is the product of seventy-five dollars ($75) multiplied by the state population in 1987 and fifty dollars ($50) multiplied by the state population in each succeeding calendar year. (b) Sections 1112 and 1401 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (26 U.S.C. Secs. 54a and 1400U-1) establish an aggregate amount of bond authority that can be issued in each state. Said amount may be determined from time to time by federal law, federal notice, or both federal law and notice. (c) The federal act requires each state to allocate its volume ceiling according to a specified formula unless a different procedure is established by Governor’s proclamation or state legislation. (d) Therefore, it is necessary to designate a state agency and create an allocation system to administer the state volume ceiling. (e) A substantial public benefit is served by promoting housing for lower income families and individuals. (f) A substantial public benefit is served by preserving and rehabilitating existing governmental assisted housing for lower income families and individuals. (g) A substantial public benefit is served by providing federal tax credits or reduced interest rate mortgages to assist teachers, principals, vice principals, assistant principals, and classified employees who are willing to serve in high priority schools to purchase a home.

(a) The committee shall, as soon as is practicable after the start of each calendar year, determine and announce the state ceiling for the calendar year. (b) The entire state ceiling for each calendar year is hereby allocated to the committee to further allocate to state and local agencies as provided in this chapter. (c) The committee shall prepare application forms and announce procedures for receipt and review of applications from state and local agencies desiring to issue private activity bonds. (d) The committee may at any time, before or after granting any allocations in any calendar year to any state agencies or local agencies, announce priorities or reservations of any part of the state ceiling not theretofore allocated either for certain categories of bonds or categories of issuers. (e) The committee may require any issuer making an application to the committee or MBTCAC for allocation of a portion of the state ceiling to make a deposit, as determined by the committee, of up to 1 percent of the portion requested. If an allocation is not given, the deposit shall be returned. If an allocation is given, the deposit shall be kept, in proportion to the amount of allocation given, until bonds are issued. Upon that issuance, the deposit shall be returned to the issuer in an amount equal to the product of (1) the amount of the deposit retained times (2) the ratio between the amount of bonds issued divided by the amount of allocation granted. If no bonds are issued prior to the expiration of the allocation, the deposit shall be kept. However, in cases where only a portion or none of the bonds are issued, the committee may return all or part of the deposit if it determines there is good cause to do so. Any portion of a deposit kept shall be deposited in the fund. (f) The committee may transfer part of the state ceiling to the MBTCAC, to be used for qualified mortgage bonds and exempt facility bonds or for qualified residential rental projects, as those terms are used in the Internal Revenue Code, together referred to as “housing bonds,” with directions and conditions pursuant to which MBTCAC may allocate those amounts to issuers of housing bonds at both the state and local levels. In carrying out these functions, MBTCAC shall act solely as directed or authorized by the committee. If the committee makes the transfer to MBTCAC authorized by this subdivision, the references in Sections 8869.85, 8869.86, 8869.87, and 8869.88 to the “committee” shall, for purposes of any housing bonds, be deemed to mean MBTCAC. (g) (1) The committee may establish the Extra Credit Teacher Home Purchase Program to provide federal mortgage credit certificates and reduced interest rate loans funded by mortgage revenue bonds to eligible teachers, principals, vice principals, assistant principals, and classified employees who agree to teach or provide administration or service in a high priority school. Priority for assistance shall be given to eligible teachers, principals, vice principals, and assistant principals. (2) For purposes of this program, the following definitions shall apply: (A) “High priority school” means a state K–12 public school that is ranked in the bottom half of the Academic Performance Index developed pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 52052 of the Education Code. However, priority shall be given to schools that are ranked in the lowest three deciles. (B) “Classified employee” means an employee of a school district, employed in a position not requiring certification qualifications. (3) The committee may make reservations of a portion of future calendar year state ceiling limits for up to five future calendar years for that program. The committee may also make future allocations of the state ceiling for up to five years for any issuer under that program. Any future allocation made by the committee shall constitute an allocation of the state ceiling for a future year specified by the committee and shall be deemed to have been made on the first day of the future year so specified. The committee may condition allocations under the Extra Credit Teacher Home Purchase Program on any terms and conditions that the committee deems necessary or appropriate, including, but not limited to, the execution of a contract between the teacher, principal, vice principal, assistant principal, or classified employee and the issuer whereby the teacher, principal, vice principal, assistant principal, or classified employee agrees to comply with the terms and conditions of the program. The contract may include, among other things, an agreement by the teacher, principal, vice principal, assistant principal, or classified employee to teach or provide administration or service in a high priority school for a minimum number of years, and provisions for enforcing the contract that the committee deems necessary or appropriate. (4) If a teacher, principal, vice principal, assistant principal, or classified employee does not fulfill the requirements of a contract entered into pursuant to paragraph (3), the issuer of the mortgage credit certificate or mortgage revenue bond may recover as an assessment from the teacher, principal, vice principal, assistant principal, or classified employee a monetary amount equal to the lesser of (A) one-half of the teacher’s, principal’s, vice principal’s, assistant principal’s, or classified employee’s net proceeds from the sale of the related residence or (B) the amount of monetary benefit conferred on the teacher, principal, vice principal, assistant principal, or classified employee as a result of the federal mortgage credit certificate or reduced interest rate loan funded by a mortgage revenue bond, offset by the amount of any federal recapture, as defined by Section 143(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The assessment may be secured by a lien against the residence, which shall decline in amount over the term of the contract as the teacher, principal, vice principal, assistant principal, or classified employee fulfills the term of the contract, and which shall be collected at the time of sale of the residence. Any assessment collected pursuant to this paragraph shall be used for the issuer’s costs in administering the Extra Credit Teacher Home Purchase Program. The issuers shall report annually to the committee the total amount of any assessments collected pursuant to this paragraph and how those assessments were used by the issuer. (5) If the committee establishes the Extra Credit Teacher Home Purchase Program pursuant to this subdivision, the committee shall report annually to the Legislature the results of the program, including all of the following: (A) The amount of state ceiling limits allocated to or reserved for the program. (B) The agencies to which state ceiling limits were issued. (C) The number of loans or mortgage credit certificates issued to teachers, principals, vice principals, assistant principals, and classified employees. (D) The schools or school districts at which recipients of assistance are employed, aggregated by decile in which the schools rank on the Academic Performance Index and by the percentage of uncredentialed teachers employed at the schools. (6) The committee shall not make any reservations of future calendar year state ceiling limits or future allocations of the state ceiling pursuant to this subdivision on or after January 1, 2004, unless a later enacted statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2004, deletes or extends that date. However, reservations and allocations made prior to that date shall remain valid. (Amended by Stats. 2011, Ch. 239, Sec. 1. (SB 562) Effective January 1, 2012.)

(d) No allocation made to a state agency or a local agency pursuant to this section may be transferred by the initial recipient thereof to any other state agency or local agency unless the committee expressly permits the transfer. With the committee’s permission, any state or local agency may, by resolution, transfer to any other local agency or to any state agency or back to the committee all or any portion of the agency’s private activity bond limit. Any such transfer shall be made in writing and may be general or limited and subject to any terms and conditions as may be set forth in the resolution or under the committee’s permission, as long as the transfer is irrevocable upon issuance of bonds pursuant to the transfer, at least to the extent of the amount of the bonds so issued.

In the last decade, this state and its residents have endured a number of moderate earthquakes resulting in injuries, loss of life, and in excess of thirty billion dollars ($30,000,000,000) in property damage. Projected losses in future earthquakes could exceed one hundred fifty billion dollars ($150,000,000,000) as was the case for the recent Kobe earthquake in Japan. (b) Moderate, potentially damaging earthquakes occur on the average of every couple of years somewhere in this state, and another great earthquake in southern California can be expected within the next 20 to 30 years. However, recent increased seismic activity in the San Francisco Bay area and Los Angeles Basin, coupled with new estimates of long-term seismic patterns, suggest that the seismicity in this state has been anomalously low in the recent past, and we may be returning to a normal period of more frequent large earthquakes. Also, a damaging earthquake near San Diego cannot be ruled out. (c) Continued advances in the knowledge and practice of science, engineering, and other earthquake-related disciplines are critical to the development of state and local earthquake risk reduction programs and practices that lead to improvements in existing and new buildings, dams and utility systems, transportation facilities, communications systems, fire and toxic materials safety, and disaster preparedness. (d) It is important to all California residents that new and improved cost-effective earthquake risk reduction measures be developed that will appreciably lower the potential for death, injury, damage to property and disruption of lives and businesses in this state. (e) It is the consensus of the California engineering and scientific communities that while damaging earthquakes are inevitable in this state, significant levels of earthquake risk reduction will be achievable if steps are taken to provide the needed focus and coordination of earthquake risk reduction efforts. (f) In 1986, the Governor signed Senate Bill 1667, which formalized this state’s commitment to the establishment of a center for earthquake engineering research within the state, but this center has yet to be established. (g) The National Science Foundation has indicated that it may fund such a center on a competitive basis at a level of two million dollars ($2,000,000) per year for five years beginning in 1996, if the center matches the foundation contribution on at least a dollar-for-dollar basis from nonfederal funds. (h) A center for earthquake engineering research will provide a much needed multidisciplinary, integrated research program to develop new and improved cost-effective earthquake risk reduction measures. (i) A center for earthquake engineering research will enhance California’s worldwide competitiveness in the fields of earthquake design and construction and may serve as a catalyst for developing new products and services that have global implications. (j) Therefore, it is in the interest of the safety of all California residents and visitors that a center for earthquake engineering research be created to develop, through research and application, new and improved, cost-effective risk reduction measures that will reduce the potential for death and injury and damage to property.
